One might assume Kansas is merely nothing but fields. Endless fields of goldenrod-colored wheat swaying gracefully with the soft wind. Some may also think of Sunflowers. Millions and millions of tiny yellow specks filled with fuzzy bees doing their natural work, giving life to the wonderful little things, but no. Kansas is filled with bright, busy cities and streets too, people from across the globe, and places from museums to small local coffee shops. Kansas is certainly a special state, propped

during the time of Bleeding Kansas. In 1854, the Kansas-Nebraska Act was made to allow each territory to decide for themselves on the concern of slavery by using popular sovereignty. Even though the idea of popular sovereignty was fair, many proslavery men crossed the borders of Kansas and voted illegally, trying to change the result. Kansas' government was changed too.

Fossil Discoveries in Kansas Did you know, in the state of Oklahoma it is against the law to either hunt or catch whales?

"For a brief period from the late 1920s through the late 1930s, Kansas City was a mecca for Midwestern and southwestern black jazz musicians.

will discuss the history of the death penalty in the state of Kansas, and some of our most famous cases. In doing so, I will show how the state and the federal government have constantly struggled to come up with a reasonable solution for an extremely controversial issue.
