Summary
Four designs for magic lantern slides, images 1, 5, 4 and 7 showing the clearing of the first settlement, the devil introducing slavery into the colony, the devil flying away as slaves are freed and whites setting fire to the homes of freed slaves. Lecomptonism became the rallying cry of the People's Party in the 1860 election. The pro-slavery Lecompton Constitution was formulated and ratified in 1857 in the territorial capitol of Kansas after an election in which voters were given a choice only between limited or unlimited slavery; free state men refused to cast their ballots. The issue of admitting Kansas as a slave state split the Democratic Party, and in 1858 Kansas voters rejected the Lecompton Constitution. Kansas was admitted as a free state in 1861.
