Kansas! Say It Above A Whisper

A territory in turmoil enters the union as a free state, signifying the beginning of a war to change the nation. Though the state was being torn apart, the people of Kansas knew the necessity of their triumph, the imperativeness of their victory. They were willing to take the first steps to truly unite the United States.

With their President standing behind them, they charged into the injustice of a civil war. With their hearts set and their souls ready, the people marched closer towards freedom, hoping they would accomplish their goal. Anybody with pride or loyalty to his country generously chose to sacrifice his own future for the future of the nation.

This noble cause was one of great importance. The iron-willed people of Kansas were impelled to achieve their destiny. Families were torn apart, as members departed to fight. Opinions gave way to persecution, homes were reduced to battlefields, and loved ones were lost. The people of Kansas helped to lead the nation in its journey to be truly free. They fought, and they won. The labors they endured then gave birth to the freedoms the country has today.

Kansas, unlike other territories, willingly accepted the consequences of leading the nation towards freedom, by striving to be a free state. The opposition endured by Kansas people was a struggle for the rights of all in the United States. Kansas, a silent martyr in America’s quest for freedom, deserves the respect and gratitude of the rest of the nation.
