Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Struggle for Freedom in Kansas The expediency of our electing ofiicers under the Lecompton constitution was obvious to a large majority of the Free State men of Kansas, and was well sup ported by The Herald of Freedom, The Leavenworth Times, and other influential newspapers'of our party. That policy was also urged on us by many influential friends of free State in and out of Con gress - by my father, the'hon. Thomas Ewing, of Ohio, who wrote my elder brother, Hugh Ewing, then in partner ship with me in the practice of law at Leavenworth, most strongly insisting that the Free State men in Kansas, who were known to have a large majority in the Territory, should elect the State Officers and members of the legislature under the Lecompton constitution, and thus take possession of the government and control it, so as to make Kansas a free State - just as in the then recent October election the Free State men chose the legislature and took possession of the territorial govern ment. The Hon. Salmon P. Chase, then governor of Ohio, wrote an urgent letter to Governor Robinson, advising the vot ing policy, which, as well as the letter from my father, was read to the convem tion with great effect. The Hon. Samuel F. Vinton, an eminent member of the House of Representatives from Ohio, wrote a similar letter to me, which I read to the convention, in which he said that if the Free State men should stubbornly and fanatically refuse to adopt this pol icy, he for one would abandon the strug gle in Congress in our behalf.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few people would have expected bloodshed in Kansas Territory. After all, it had few slaves and showed few signs that slavery would even flourish. But civil war tore this territory apart in the 1850s and 60s, and "Bleeding Kansas" became a forbidding symbol for the nationwide clash over slavery that followed. Many free-state Kansans seemed to care little about slaves, and many proslavery Kansans owned not a single slave. But the failed promise of the Kansas-Nebraska Act-when fraud in local elections subverted the settlers' right to choose whether Kansas would be a slave or free state-fanned the flames of war. While other writers have cited slavery or economics as the cause of unrest, Nicole Etcheson seeks to revise our understanding of this era by focusing on whites' concerns over their political liberties. The first comprehensive account of "Bleeding Kansas" in more than thirty years, her study re-examines the debate over slavery expansion to emphasize issues of popular sovereignty rather than slavery's moral or economic dimensions. The free-state movement was a coalition of settlers who favored black rights and others who wanted the territory only for whites, but all were united by the conviction that their political rights were violated by nonresident voting and by Democratic presidents' heavy-handed administration of the territories. Etcheson argues that participants on both sides of the Kansas conflict believed they fought to preserve the liberties secured by the American Revolution and that violence erupted because each side feared the loss of meaningful self-governance. Bleeding Kansas is a gripping account of events and people-rabble-rousing Jim Lane, zealot John Brown, Sheriff Sam Jones, and others-that examines the social milieu of the settlers along with the political ideas they developed. Covering the period from the 1854 Kansas-Nebraska Act to the 1879 Exoduster Migration, it traces the complex interactions among groups inside and outside the territory, creating a comprehensive political, social, and intellectual history of this tumultuous period in the state's history. As Etcheson demonstrates, the struggle over the political liberties of whites may have heightened the turmoil but led eventually to a broadening of the definition of freedom to include blacks. Her insightful re-examination sheds new light on this era and is essential reading for anyone interested in the ideological origins of the Civil War.

Book excerpt: When a white lynch mob of 3,000 stormed the city jail in Coffeyville, Kansas, in 1927, incited by rumors that three "negroes" had raped two white high school girls, the incident ended very differently from so many others in the Jim Crow era. No one was lynched. The mob was driven back, first by black deputies at the jail, then by armed African Americans who prevented their neighborhood from being torched. The National Guard occupied the city for five days. Black community leaders, certain that the girls' assailants were white, posted a reward for information, and pressured the city to hire an independent investigator. The County Prosecutor, two months later, surprised everyone by charging a white car salesman for rape, and naming one of the girls as an accomplice. But an all-white, all-male jury acquitted both. Then the city began a concerted effort to erase memory. All prosecutions for rioting, and all damage suits against the city were dismissed. By year-end, the local newspapers omitted all mention of the riot, occupation, and trial in their wrap-ups of the year's events. This thesis uses the lens of the Coffeyville riot to argue that African American activism in Kansas flourished because of the state's unique history. While never an egalitarian racial paradise ("the myth of Kansas"), Kansas did not fully implement a Jim Crow racial caste system. Blacks could vote in large numbers. The Kansas Republican Party valued black support. The Ku Klux Klan was expelled from the state by 1927. More significantly, Kansas funded "Separate but Equal" schools that were truly equal. They educated a generation of local black activists who contested school segregation, police brutality, and white lynch mobs. Yet memory of Kansas's accomplishments in the Black Freedom Struggle (black Civil War regiments, the Coffeyville resistance, and Wichita lunch counter sit-ins) have largely vanished. If not for Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka, there would be no memory at all. "Ignore that man behind the curtain," the The Wizard of Oz admonished Dorothy at the end of the film. America's historians have, for the most part, heeded that advice, at least about Kansas's role in the Black Freedom Struggle.
