摘要

This project examines the region of Kansas prior to and then after the organization of the Kansas-Nebraska county. It presents an attractive land once exploited by European empires, fur trade interests and even, in a matter of speaking, by the Jackson administration who saw the region as a perfect reserve for Indian people. As the consequences of victory in the Mexican War unfolded, national leaders determined that the Indian Territory must be opened to settlers and commercial interests.;By 1854, the issue of slavery and its extension had come into prominence. Whether the Kansas Territory would be admitted to the Union was to be determined by the will of the people, presumably the settlers of the territory. Popular sovereignty was ill-advised in practice. The ballot box could not be secured and the slavery advocates like Senator David R. Atchison and Benjamin F. Stringfellow, who exhorted their followers to "take possession of Kansas," did not scruple at tactics which effectively subverted the people's will. However, the pro-slavery interests of Missouri were not of one mind and Atchison and his supporters were at odds with the commercial and professional leaders of western Missouri who saw the opening of the Kansas Territory as an opportunity for profit.;The Leavenworth Town Association was intended to take immediate possession of exceptional land for the purpose of making exceptional profit. The actions of the shareholders of the Leavenworth Town Association put them in conflict with Atchison and others, who then found an additional target for their intemperance other than the antislavery, abolitionist settlers of towns like Lawrence, Kansas.;By end of 1856, resolution of the Indian treaties made possible the clear and free purchase of land in the Kansas Territory. As Kansans became rooted in their land and in their interests, Kansas grew calmer, more stable and finally resistant to the introduction of slavery. The introduction of slavery into Kansas failed not only because of abolitionist sentiment but also because pro-slavery forces in Missouri never possessed the cohesion necessary to bring Kansas into the Union as a slave state.

Atchison）参议员和本杰明·斯特林费洛（Benjamin F. Stringfellow）这样的奴隶制倡导者劝告其追随者“占领堪萨斯州”，但并未认真考虑有效地颠覆人民意志的策略。然而，密苏里州的支持奴隶制利益不是一回事，Atchison及其支持者与西部密苏里州的商业和专业领导人相矛盾，后者将堪萨斯领地的开放视为获利的机会。旨在立即拥有特殊土地，以赚取特殊利润。莱文沃思镇协会的股东的行为使他们与阿奇森和其他人发生冲突，然后他们又为他们的节制找到了另一个目标，而不是像堪萨斯州劳伦斯这样的反奴隶制，废奴主义定居者。1856年底，印度条约使在堪萨斯领土上清晰，自由地购买土地成为可能。随着坎山人扎根于他们的土地和他们的利益，堪萨斯州变得更加镇定，稳定并最终抵制了奴隶制的引入。将奴隶制引入堪萨斯之所以失败，不仅是因为废奴主义的情绪，而且还因为密苏里州的亲奴隶制部队从未拥有将堪萨斯州作为奴隶国加入联邦的必要凝聚力。
