U.S. #1061 highlights the 100-year anniversary of the Kansas Territory. Acquired as part of the Louisiana Purchase, Kansas Territory experienced several years of civil unrest, from 1854-56, over whether to be admitted to the Union as a free state or a slave state. In 1861, Kansas finally became the 34th state of the Union, as a free state.
