Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from False Claims of Kansas Historians: Truthfully Corrected There is no State in the American Union which has bestowed such care in collecting its pioneer history, commencing near half a century ago, as has Kansas, and yet in no one of them will more errors be found. Those errors came from the false representation of violent partisans who sought to magnify the doings of their heroes at the expense of Truth, and to minimize those of their opponents. The prominent actors in the great contest, who went forward in advance of all others, to plant the banner of freedom on her virgin soil, have been maligned and pushed aside, to make place and give prominence to those who came from one to three years later, whose methods were very questionable, and sometimes exceedingly prejudicial. The first pioneers learned before they left the East that a mutual unwritten compromise had been entered into by Congress, at the passage of the Kansas-Nebraska act, by which the former territory was virtually surrendered to Slavery, while the latter was to be free. The South accepted those terms, claimed Kansas was theirs by virtue of such understanding, and resolved to employ every possible instrumentality in their reach to make effective that agreement.
