we have a newspaper from kansas city. it is dated to the era. were oil26, there discovered in the town. there was a huge influx of investment money. what we have in this image is kansas city newspaper with the wonder city of the texas panhandle. citydea that this amarillo , it is something that today sounds a little old-fashioned. we also have this blueprint above that is by an architect that i think deserves his own study. we have an image of the united states with the city of amarillo larger than any other city and showing the networking of amarillo as a crossroads for the united states. and you can see that the santa fe railroad is just one straight shot of a line. it is quicker than even to dallas. houston isn't even on this map. the idea that this network is what this whole show is about, it would be close for a number of reasons based on the cattle trade. these objects tell that story. we are standing in front of another object. this is a reproduction, a that was born in the kansas city area and studied for a few areas. when he didn't get

the conflict as it manifests in kansas and missouri. what is that conflict? bleeding kansas.tarts roughly about 1854. goes here and there with explosive violent events, like 1861. the way the war manifests in missouri is similar to the bleeding kansas conflict that some think is the war before the war. the kansas missouri conflict becomes a war within the war. that will be true of the borderlands as well. there are many conflicts within the larger conflict of the american civil war. it begins in kansas and missouri happens in 1861. as soon as the civil war breaks out, guerrilla war emerges as a popular alternative to enlisting in the confederate army. if you enlist, you may not be fighting in your own community. you may be sent to fight in other parts of the south. for some men who don't want to leave their communities or families perhaps defenseless, this guerrilla warfare, these guerrilla groups become a popular alternative to formally enlisting in the confederate army. so far as missouri's status during the civil war, it is similar to kentucky. we are kind of for the confe

missouri in kansas and happens in 1861. as soon as the civil war breaks out, guerrilla war emerges as a popular alternative to enlisting in the confederate army. if you enlist, you may not be fighting in your own community. in may be sent to fight other parts of the south. want to men who don't leave their communities or families perhaps defenseless, theseuerrilla warfare, guerrilla groups become a popular alternative to formally enlisting in the confederate army. statusas missouri's during the civil war, it is similar to kentucky. we are kind of for the confederacy, but kind of not. missouri doesn't have this formal seceding thing that happens in a lot of the other states we talked about. they will have a pro-union government and pro-confederate government operating in exile. that happens in kentucky as well. some people in missouri might be unionists, some might be confederate sympathizers. the other side of kansas is somewhat similar, but they will mostly be unionists. fighters, guerrilla they are still in their communit

. >> senator from kansas. >> thank you very much. this has been a trying and difficult challenging time in our country, in my home state of kansas lots of conversations, care and compassion going on, we can't give anybody a hug these days, can't extend a hand, at least literally. but we are extending a hand to all of our friends and neighbors, those cross the community, the state and the country. i am troubled by what circumstance of americans find themselves in. there are those in poor circumstance in which they can recover from the circumstances we face. i want to make sure kansans know that we hear their cries, we know their problems and that work is afoot to try to make a difference. just a couple of examples, things that in the overall scale of where we are perhaps don't seem significant enough but can make a difference in individual lives and families well-being. successful to this point of getting the school lunch program available for students whose are no longer in session, don't go to classroom and aren't in the school lunc

aviation conserving is an important component of the kansas city. today textron industries which manufactures cessna aircraft and beach aircraft announced they are furloughing 7,000 of their 9,000 workers. that's on top of other challenges in the aviation industry in which spirit arrow systems, headquartered in kansas, has already laid off 2,800 employees. so from the oil and gas industry of western and south central and eastern kansas to the manufacturing hub of wichita and south central kansas, the cans of the coronavirus are real and felt in the pocketbook. felt in the brain and felt in the heart. our restaurants, hotels, our car rental agencies, those who serve others have been in circumstances this week and visiting with a person who workers at -- -- who works, the people who work at a cafe, the people who work here in washington, d.c. at the cafeteria where i had breakfast this morning. those who have jobs wonder if they're going to have jobs tomorrow. those that have already lost their jobs wonder how they are going to pay the bills. this mor

there aren't many businesses in that rural communities in kansas.n many businesses don't really earn much of the living or profitst. it could be a family circumstance. he could be that this is what they did. this with their parents did. it could be a service to the community as they learn a lot less because that business is important to a small community. with this kind of challenge is such that if that business closes, the chances are that it does not reopen. the financial circumstances of small-town american is such that there is little likelihood of recovering and reopening. i hope that the legislation that we passed today, is now in its wake to the president break in included a few things that i was troubled by an think will create significant difficulties for some. made to continue to work to change those provisions that are troublesome and cause problems. but it was important my view to make certain that the things that were wrong in a bill didn't prevent us from passing something to help those with the things that are right. none of our econo

so he became quite a local hero in kansas city. unfortunately, the large numbers of casualties who would come after him would far eclipse the story of simmons.

in kansas city as in most places state -- nationwide, influenza arrived by way of an army camp. there were two motor pools knew the city and that's where influenza first emerged. city leaders including the public health officials tried to calm the public which again was a very common response and suggested don't worry, civilians will be fine. of course that was not true justice was not true everywhere else in the country. wasate september the army completely quarantined and something with 1000 people were already down the onus. the kansas city department of health continue to downplay the risk until they could not any longer and in october 7 it was clear there was a major health emergency taking place as they closed schools, churches, theaters and band public gatherings of any group larger than 20. that figure is important to note because you could keep some things open. you could keep saloons, dance halls as long as you didn't have more than 20 people in any given state. you could keep those open and they did. were someely there infighting among the public health in kansas city

so he became quite a local hero in kansas city. unfortunately, the large numbers of casualties who would come after him would far eclipse the story of simmons. but not in the army's way of thinking. the u.s. army, a hospital would be named for him in denver colorado, which actually leads us to another one of our human stories. a nurse. she was also killed in combat. you can tell by our surroundings, we have kind of changed locations in the museum. we are still following the story of important people involved in the story of medicine and medical delivery and actually this relates very closely in some ways to fit simmons who we just talked about, but it may be the most not obvious way. the stress, the medals, and this batik uniform belonged to sharon laying. sharon lane was not even born during the first world war one fits cements would be killed. but as i mentioned, we named the hospital after fits simmons and it fits into the story where you see sharon lane, originally from ohio was trained as a nurse. we know that in the late sixt

kansascted groups in that were being removed into kansas like the kickapoo. it will allow me then to talk about how indian removal is an epidemiological nightmare for indigenous people. knew a lot of indigenous people died from indian removal. way.t is in a general we know specifically the diseases they died from. the process of indian removal and how it fostered the spread of disease and led to indigenous people being vulnerable. >> is that in your book cherokee medicine and colonial germs? >> is not. that is why i am pursuing this further. i had initially planned on a chapter on indian removal. but cholera becomes the main story. where might cherokee medicine book was focused on smallpox. so i do not put that in the book, the indian removal aspect. because i thought it was tangential to the story i was telling there. this is a larger story on indian removal that i think i will tell. >> how do research the cholera epidemic? and what does the name cholera mean? you know where the word comes from? >> i do not. i think i read about it, greek origins i cannot re

. >> joined by the governor of kansas, laura kelly. thank you very much. is it not a problem in the midwest? >> well, it is a problem of a different scale because of our population but we are seeing increase in the number of positive tests on a daily basis. i think we had ten more today. half of our positive tests are located in one of our more populous areas, bordering kansas city, missouri. we have taken some actions in anticipation of making social distancing happen. as you know we closed down our school buildings and will reopen the education process in a couple of weeks, but we won't be bringing kids necessarily back into the buildings themselves. we're going to do it all by distance learning or academics to go. i ordered crowds more than 50 are not getting together. we're sending state employees that are not absolutely essential will be working from home or at home on administrative leave for the next two weeks. so we are taking steps to lockdown the number of folks who are wandering around, in and out of stores, making contact with one another. >> y

the last straw for stanton happened in kansas. in 1860 eight, legislators in the state of kansas had proposed to referendum on the fall ballot. one and franchising black man and one and franchising all women. excited by the possibility that midwesterners might see the value of women as voters, stanton and anthony both went to kansas and spent a month on a statewide speaking tour on trying to make the case directly to the kansan voter. both referenda were defeated. discouraged, broken hearted and feeling abandoned by allies in the east and west, and running low on funds, stanton and anthony got an offer they cannot refuse. it came from an extremely unlikely source, from a democrat. remember, the 19th-century republicans are socially liberal and democrats are conservative. the best way to explain how shocking this offer would be is that if one of the president starches supporters helped to undocumented immigrants apply for obamacare. that's how out of the norm this offer was. who was this democrat and why did he help stanton and ant

again, you're the mayor of kansas city. >> right. i think that was some of the challenge that i had. i mean for the average person, they wouldn't have gotten a call back 40 minutes later from the election board. folks wouldn't have been actually looking at it in the same way. i think the advice we've gotten for some is wait another 20, 30 minutes, to me that's not acceptable. so we need to find ways to make volting easier. something we can stand to do in missouri and kansas city. >> how concerned are you that this happens again in november? what steps are you and other city officials looking at to prevent this in the fall? >> you know, i think first of all while this is human error -- and god bless the people who work at the polls all day -- it is the sort of error that is frankly unacceptable. we need to make sure there's sufficient training there and faster response. and frankly when you're getting turned away, it's embarrassing and frustrating and a lot just leave. they need to say, no, don't do that. we can solve it faster. and l
