What was the role of John Brown in the violence that led to ''Bleeding Kansas''?
John Brown and his sons were abolitionists and within Kansas a miniature "civil war" broke out among pro-slavery people and anti-slavery people. John Brown, originally from the East, was a strong believer, that at any cost, slavery could not exist in Kansas. Despite what seems to be overwhelming "evidence" John Brown and his sons were never arrested or prosecuted for the murders he committed in Kansas.
Could Kansas be considered part of the confederate states?
Not by any stretch of the imagination I can conjure. As one of the pre-war compromises Kansas was left to decide whether it would be slave or free by a vote of those who settled there. This stimulated a migration to Kansas of anti-slavery abolitionists, which eventually assured that Kansas entered the Union as a free state. The abolitionists founded the town of Lawrence, Kansas, which was a hateful place to pro-slavery groups, and this was why the town was attacked and burned in a raid by Quantrill's raider's in 1863, with many townsmen slaughtered. Before the actual Civil War began there was a mini civil war between abolitionists who had moved to Kansas, known as "Jayhawkers", and pro-slavery Missouri "Red Legs". John Brown, later hung for his raid on Harper's Ferry in 1859, first was among the abolitionists who moved to Kansas, where, with his sons, he murdered several slave owners. All this violence gave Kansas the eventual nickname "Bleeding Kansas". These events are so important in the state's heritage that the University of Kansas athletic teams are today the "Jayhawks".
