1854 CE

The eastern Kansas city of Lawrence, named for New England textile manufacturer Amos A. Lawrence, is founded along the Kansas (Kaw) River in 1854 by antislavery radicals.

The founders have come to Kansas under the auspices of the New England Emigrant Aid Company to outvote proslavery settlers and thus make Kansas a nonslave state.
