History

The town quickly became a center of pro-slavery politics in the Kansas Territory, and was the capital of the short-lived pro-slavery government of Kansas from 1855 to 1861. During this period, the town was the site of the Lecompton Constitution, a document that proposed the admission of Kansas as a slave state. The document was rejected by Congress, and the town's pro-slavery government was eventually overthrown by anti-slavery forces.
