	History of Kansas - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Kansas, as part of the Louisiana Purchase, was annexed to the United States in 1803 as unorganized territory.
		In this context, the region claimed by the Kansa Nation was ceded to the United States by the treaty of June 1825, and the Kansa tribe was thereafter limited to a specific reservation.
		The original borders of Kansas Territory were from the Missouri border to the summit of the Rocky Mountain range; the southern boundary was the 37th parallel, the northern was the 40th parallel.

	Kansas Brewing History
		Kansas Germans (the state's largest foreign born ethnic group) also maintained that state prohibition deterred Germans from settling in Kansas; a claim that cannot easily be substantiated because voters approved statewide prohibition in 1880, the same year German emigration to the United States began dropping off after a peak.
		As Clara Francis wrote in her 1916 overview of prohibition in Kansas, the movement was not "a sudden uprising of people," nor the result of "a few fanatics." Instead, the vote reflected "a crystallization of the slowly developed sentiment t', held by many voter factions and nationalities resentful of the unruly behavior that saloons spawned.
		Kansas breweries had a head start on neighboring states, sold fresh beer profitably, and stood a chance as many small, local breweries in other states did-to quench the local and regional beer drinker's thirst along with the giants of the brewing industry if not for state prohibition in 1881.
