Default Connecticut-Kansas Connection

October 1869 Lawrence, Kansas, Republican Daily Journal



The "Free Staters" had a connection to Connecticut

The Beecher Bible and Rifle Church was established in Wabaunsee in June 1857 by the "Connecticut-Kansas Colony" which arrived with Sharps rifles and 25 Bibles provided by the congregation of Henry Ward Beecher; Plymouth (Congregational) Church in Brooklyn, New York.
