Kansas became the 34th state on January 29, 1861.
Its civic history includes the conflict known as Bleeding Kansas, but its public life today also turns on agriculture, aviation, energy, universities, prairie communities, military installations, water, schools, and rural services. Public choices about taxes, courts, roads, health care, and education often reveal the distance between urban centers and small communities. The sections ahead move from Kansas’s civic backdrop to its actual representatives and government contacts.
