Why come to Kansas?
  • Well before the last Federal occupation troops
    left the South at the end of Reconstruction in
    1877, oppression had already deeply eroded the
    few social and economic gains blacks acheived
    after the Civil War. Organizations like the Klu
    Klux Klan terrorized or killed African Americans
    who resisted the constraints of racisim.

10
  • Poverty, customs and laws prevented the newly
    freed slaves from buying land after the Civil
    War, Many returned to work for their old masters
    as sharecroppers, but dishonest treatement by
    many landlords and lack of education kept African
    Americans in economic slavery.

    throughout Kansas.
