堪薩斯 (Kansas) 於1861年1月29日以自由州的身份加入聯邦
美國於1803年在與法國政府交易的「路易西安那購買案」中買下這片土地，並且將其劃分為現在的堪薩斯州。當地的原住民部落一直都稱這片土地為家鄉。這個州是以達科塔印第安人所稱的「堪薩」 (Konza) 來命名的。當聯邦政府打算把其他原住民遷移到這裡時，有些住在堪薩斯州的原住民相當反對。
The U.S. bought the land that makes up present-day Kansas from France as part of the Louisiana Purchase in 1803. Native American tribes had long called the land home; the state is named after the Indians that the Sioux called the Konza, meaning "people of the south wind." Some Native Americans lived in Kansas against their will in the territory's early days, when tribes were relocated there by the federal government.
