The election of Lincoln followed by secession and firing by the Confederate Army upon Fort Sumter is generally cited as the the 'start' of the Civil War.
However, prior to this in Kansas fighting and lawlessness prevailed as proslavery forces clashed with antislavery forces over the ever important question of whether Kansas would enter the Union 'free or slave'.
Its been argued by some historians that Kansas not South Carolina is where the Civil War actually began.
Thus, did the Civil War Really Begin in Kansas?
