not again visited, however, by white
men until nearly one hundred and sew
enty-five years later, when the French
in Louisiana sent out an expedition
to investigate the remote portions of
what was then their territory Most
of the present State of Kansas was
part of the Louisiana Purchase and so
passed from French hands to the
United States in 1903. A small addi-
tional part was later added in 1850,
being ceded by Texas.
The Lewis and Clark party traversed
this region in 1904, and Lieutenant
Pike passed through Kansas two years
later.
Kansas history really becomes in
teresting in the middle of the century,
when the slavery agitation gave 1t
the name of Bleeding Kansas" 1t
had been an unorganized territory
since 1921, at which time it had been
considered a portion of the Territory
of Missouri. According to the Mis-
souri, Compromise II Kansas became
n state it could not be slavery state.
The opposition of the South was so
strong the Kansas-Nebraska bill was
passed in 1854, making this vital ques-
ton optional with the inhabitants In
each proposed state. With this law
in force, the two factions actively
started colonizing Kansas. Immigrants
from the slave states of Arkansas and
Missouri Immediately founded Leaven-
worth. The Massachusetts Emigrant
Aid society sent out anti-slavery set
tiers who founded Lawrence, Topeka
and other towns. Conflict between
these two parties broke out at once,
and 1t was only put down by the In
PREVENTION of federal troops. The
Northern settlers came in such num-
bers that they soon were in the ma
iority and in 1861 an anti-slavery
constitution was adopted SO Kansas
was admitted to the Union in that
year.
The political dispute over Kansas
was the cause of the formation of the
present Republican party.
