sent it back to kansas for another vote. the kansas voted it down. the new legislature actually, the new territorial actually wrote two new constitutions. so are you keeping track? three, one, two, three. four, actually, had a chance of passing was because the constitutional convention for the fourth one actually had a very balanced membership to write the constitution. it went to congress. it had really no chance of passing because the congress was so horribly divided. how about the term dysfunctional? they really couldn't pass any significant legislation, but as soon as the south succeeded and the legislators, the congress people from the north, the south, left with their states that succeeded, now there was enough votes for kansas to be admitted so kansas was admitted to union on eve of the civil war. now when the civil war started, there was no state in the country probably more prepared for the civil war than kansas. because they had been through all this bleeding kansas. and what's interesting is that kansas provided more soldiers per capita an

kansas city. the 1870s there was 10% was irish born and so there was conflicts, violence and killing and deputies and local irish populations, healers essentially and that was in the 90s and then as we grew, into world war i the pending house was established. his parents were from ireland and he came from a big family of brothers and sisters. when he came here come the work in iron works in kansas city and it is true he liked to gamble on the horses and he won a bet on a horse named climax and what does climax and with those leniency opened a saloon in a boarding house in the west bottoms along the shantytowns in boarding houses and train station and all that and did very well. he was considered a very positive sort of guy, and on his sky. he held a lot of the old immigrants monday in a saloon, use kind of their baker because he didn't trust banks. he was the one to take young men with the encouragement of their parents to take the pledge to quit drinking. he was very hugely popular and he was enc

so kansas city was jumping. you could get a gig in kansas city where you could not get a gig anywhere else in the world because you had all the nightclubs had music, clubs galore here at 18th and 12th and vine. this place was wide open and baseball and jazz intersected. that intrinsic mixture of jazz and baseball which rated from -- which radiated from 18th and v ine. it was recognized everywhere in the world. world war ii. have the irony of young black soldiers dying fighting the same races in another country that we are being asked -- let led to the movement of integrating america's so-called national pastime. if they could die fighting for the country, they ought to be able to play baseball in this country. .hat led to jackie robinson jackie plays here in 1945. he signed his contract to play in the dodgers organization. he spent the 1946 system in the dodgers' farm system, then in made that monumental walk on the field for the brooklyn dodgers, forever changing this country. there's no question jackie's break

kansas city. hundreds of immigrants responded, mostly from baltimore, boston, new york, along the coast. they were mostly male. women followed. kids followed, but they were brought here for a very simple reason -- to wield a pick and streets.d cut the they dug cisterns. they dug foundations for buildings. latrines. they put up brick. they put up stone -- there were stonemasons. are caverns underneath where we sit right now. there are underground caves carved out of the limestone now used for storage and office space. the irish would look around the city and you would see the .oundations of homes course, we were a major stockyard operation. early on, before the eastern europeans can end, it was the the cattlek cutting into steaks. the guy oiling the chain was irish. it was those kinds of jobs that brought the iris to kansas city. really, they built the city. the american protective association was a very anti-irish, anti-immigrant sort comingp because irish across the country, settling in on these

and the purpose was to have interest in kansas in anti-slavery movement in kansas. but mostly it was to make it as easy as possible for people from new england to migrate to kansas. well, thayer was a really good idea person, not so much a good business person and the company was sort of teetering when a mutual acquaintance introduced thayer and lawrence. and so they connected in a partnership in which thayer had the good ideas. lawrence had the muroney. all of a sudden it was very successful. lawrence realized that what was really important at this early stage was to have -- was to get people to kansas as quickly as possible. so he underwrote a survey party to go to kansas. and then he made a commitment to invest as much money as was necessary to make the trip to kansas as easy as possible and then to make it as easy as possible for the people who got there to make a living. so he sent a scouting party. and the scouting party reported back, and very quickly the first immigrant party went to kansas and arrived here august 1, 1854. now, if you're looking at the timel

they shipped them to kansas. they called them books. when they got to kansas. the other person who helped raise money for this from new york. the weapons for called beechers bibles. and someone asked him why he did this as a christian minister, why did he raise the money for these bibles. he said one sharp's rival had more power with pro slavery folks than 100 bibles. and he said you might as well read bibles to buffaloes as try to convince these folks that they're wrong. so it's kind of a, kind of a fun story. but while the, while charles robinson and some of the others were being held in prison, the pro slavery missourians again attacked lawrence. this time, they had the federal government behind them. the army behind them. it was called a sack of lawrence. the free state hotel was blown up and burned. we actually stayed overnight at the ellsworth hotel, which is i think the third it ration of the free state hotel last night. so the free state hotel was burned. the newspapers were, they were not burned, but they scattered, ruined ed the presses through al of

that was really the start of the kansas city stockyards in kansas city in 1871. the livestock industry was very important to the growth of kansas city. it was the -- writ was located in west bottoms was the central business district from the late 1890s through the early 20th 20th century to the mid-20th mid-20th century. it was the main employer between the stockyards, the -- meat-packing industry; that area employed as many as 20,000 people at any given time. there were communities down there, people that work at these plants, worked at the stockyards, so there were schools, churches, retail operations down there. it really was the heart of kansas city in the business community at that time. really, -- what those jobs aided in kansas city's population growth. early on, you would have as many as -- say in the 1860s, 1870s, as many as 150, 160,000 head of cattle that would come through the stockyard. by the earl 1900s you're looking at over a million head of cattle coming through the stockyards. in 1943, they had a record day of 64,000 head of cattle were yarded -

it is a really nice crowd that includes not only people from kansas city but that group from kansas city includes some very close -- my dearest friends are here and also some of my family. whew, got a little surprise here a few minutes ago. i've been doing the "cowboy mike" program for almost a decade at panhandle plains, and it stems from an interest in correcting history and being a public historian. public history is a little different from academic history is that our job as public historians is to take history out of the academia and put it in the hands of the general public and tell good stories. that's basically what i get to do for a living, hang pictures on the wall and tell good stories. i make valuable american dollars doing that, and they keep paying me so i guess it is working out okay for somebody in any case. but when this project really kind of fell in my lap and my kocuriator, amy von lintel, i am a great believer in giving back. i think it is vital to give back to our communities. i am lucky in this project i'm able to give back to the two places that are my home. whew,

lodge, kansas, sometime if you have never been there. a pretty interesting place. >> the western painters such as remington and russell, which one of the painters get the most accurate portrayal of cowboys? that is a tough question because they were both cultureis popular already. remington at never been a cowboy. he tried to be. he was a she further and a bartender for a while. and a bartender for a while. he wanted to be a cowboy and he glorified cowboy. russell was from saint louis. i think generally, russell is probably closer to being tourate i think it's safe say. in terms of being the best painter, in my opinion hands down it is remington. russell is more interesting. throw james and there but he is known for his drawings and particular and he is a little bit later. >> would've the skills that made it hand? that madee the skills a good hand? michael: you had to be good with a rope. manage ao be able to horse. there were different levels of cattle hands, right? the lowest level is writing drag with all of the dust and mud in your f

the kansas situation is unique. i could go back in the history of that and how that happened, but there was no idea on the part of the state legislature or the governor for that matter on either side that we would experience a farm recession, that we would experience an energy recession, a general aviation recession. all that happened on top of what was agreed to by the state. so it's a different situation entirely. and i wouldn't use that as an example. philip: senator, speaking of dodge city, the polls indicate so far that these bills are just deeply unpopular. how do you -- how is this going to be perceived on main street in dodge city, and how do you think it should be? what's going to change the minds? sen. roberts: phil, i think what we've done as a party on the republican side is we worked very hard to get there from here. as a member of the finance committee, it's been tedious. as you well remember, it took us about a week in the committee, open hearings in the big room, senate room 216, and we went on and o
