Do You Know KU?
BY MEGAN MILLS
Slavery shaped not only the history of our nation, but the history of the University of Kansasas well. During the mid-19th century, residents of present-day Kansas wanted a public university in the area but were caught in the turmoil of slavery and the Civil War.
Before Kansas received its statehood, residents proposed building a public university and debated on its location. People from both sides of the slavery controversy supported a university in the region, but the conflict prevented its establishment.
The slavery issue quickly led to violence in the area, giving the future state its nickname, "Bleeding Kansas."
Lawrence didn't escape the bloodshed, either. On the morning of Aug. 21, 1863, several months after the abolitionist city earned permission to construct the University, confederate William Clarke Quantrill and his men, Quantrill's Raiders, descended from Mount Oread and raided the entire city. Quantrill's group of almost 400 guerilla burned down all but two businesses and killed more than 150 men and boys in the attack. Still considered one of the most vicious events of the Civil War, the raid on Lawrence sparked more hostility in the region, and the resulting lack of funds slowed the University's construction. After a few more years of struggle and discussion, the city finally opened the University's doors in September 1866.

"I think we're going to do great and beat K-State again because I know some of the football guys and they told me so."
KEVIN LAVENE
Littleton, Colo., sophomore "I'm not sure, but from what I hear from everyone else and read in the paper, it doesn't sound like we are going to do very well."
