	Kansas, state, United States. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
		The region was little known, however, and subsequent explorations to include Kansas were the Lewis and Clark expedition (1803–6), the Arkansas River journey of Zebulon M. Pike in 1806, and the scientific expedition of Stephen H. Long in 1819.
		Kansas, at this time mainly a region to be crossed on the way to California and Oregon, was organized as a territory in 1854.
		As conditions improved, Kansas returned largely to its allegiance to the Republican party and gained a reputation as a conservative stronghold with a bent for moral reform, indicated in the state’s strong support of prohibition; laws against the sale of liquor remained on the books in Kansas from 1880 to 1949.

	The GEOLOGIC STORY of the GREAT PLAINS
		These plains are bounded on the south by a region of Interior Highlands, consisting of the Ozark Plateaus and the Ouachita province, and by the Coastal Plain.
		The layers of sedimentary rock deposited in the inland sea were stripped from the crest of the rising mountainous belt by erosion and transported to its flanks as the gravel, sand, and mud of streams and rivers.
		A large central area of the plain is preserved, however, essentially untouched and unaffected by the streams, as a little-modified remnant of the depositional surface of 5 million years ago.
