the missouri is a shallow river and very fast. three to five years was the average life of the steamboat on the river. thet of boats like arabia saying here. it was buried for 132 years until we dug it up. was builtoat arabia in brownsville, pennsylvania in 1853. they traveled from the ohio to the mississippi. in 1855, he came up to the missouri river and traveled until it sank. the vote was built with white oak. the big structure behind you and myself is the very back, or the stern section. the rudder. the tiller arm for the look to the pilot house. the wheel pulled the arms and helped steer the boat. travelers traveled on the main deck. minutes.a sank within the passengers, 150 of them are terrified. they were not great swimmers nor were they dressed. to swim they ran to the very top of the boat and then with a lifeboat, cargo more than anything, brought it into sure one little boat at arrived. no one died in the sinking, but they lost all their freight. the 1850's on the missouri river was called the golden age of steamboats. m

from their owners in missouri. he wrote an autobiography, you can get it online. it's kind of cool. actually, there's a youtube, the story i'll get to in a minute. of him that you can pull up very easily. if i can do it, you can do it. any way, he in 1859, this is really kind of interesting. the people of lawrence asked him if he would help 12 free blacks leave lawrence and go to canada. he had helped i don't know how many dozen fugitive slaves escaped, but now, being asked to take free african-americans out of lawrence. he agrees to do it. he gets a few miles out of town and is arrested by missourians. this is kind of like, i'm sure you heard about al capone, but did all these horrible things but he was arrested for income tax evasion. john doy helped slaves escape, but when he was trying to help free blacks and the reason is slave catchers would come in and try to kidnap them. he gets 12 miles out of town. he's arrested. taken to missouri. tried, convicted.tried. he is convicted. i won't go over the whole story.

the mississippi for a time came onto the missouri river. of boat itself was built white oak and the big structure behind you, behind myself is the back or the stern section. on the back of the rudder, it would go upstairs to the pilothouse and the wheel would be turned, turn the arm and help still the book -- steer the boat. travelers traveled on the main deck. , the arabiacargo sink within minutes. the passengers were terrified. they were not great swimmers nor were they dressed to swim. they escape i running to the top of the boat as it sank, them bring them boat, it to short one boat at a time. they all arrived, no one died in the sinking. they lost all of their freight. in the 1850's, the missouri river was the golden age of steamboats. more bolts then than ever before. imagine yourself on a boat and you are on your way west. the wood deck that you see here was the size of the arabia, 171 feet long. dirty feet wide. there is a side wheeler, meaning that you had two big paddle wheels, 20 feet tall. one on the left and one on the right. s

and so when they had the territorial election, people from missouri, hordes of people from missouri, flooded across the border either scared away or so intimidated most of the native kansans that they won the election. do to give you a sense of how overwhelming this was, according to the 1855 kren cus, there were 2,378 males were eligible to vote in kansas, and the vote was held shortly thereafter. but 6,307 voted. now, obviously they probably missed a few, you know, you can't catch everybody, but not 4,000. and to give you a little bit more specifics here, lawrence, according to the census, had 369 males eligible to vote but 1,034 voted. well, so, you know, we talk about -- you've heard all kinds of things, you don't have to be eve toon savvy with the news to realize there's all kinds of talk about, you know, fraudulent elections, rigged elections, you know, voter suppression, blah, blah -- well, this is the real thing. i mean, there's no doubt about this one. so what happened was the territorial legislature was made up of missourians. they had no intention of ever, ever living in k

they also want to control the trade up and down the missouri river. it was in lakota's best interest to not allow free trade up and down the missouri river nape got paid more goods from the explorers and the traders and trappers than indians up the river. of course the american explorers, the lewis and clark, they wanted to say, no, we want you to trade with us, we want more trade, and it wasn't in the best interests of lakota to do that. so there was this competition between black buffalo, the partisan, and buffalo madison. and that kind of confrontation, they just didn't understand. the other thing lewis and clark did was that they left their best interpreter behind with the nakota people whom earlier on they had a great relationship with. so here we are, lewis preparing to give what they dub his indian speech, and they didn't have a proper translator. so the speeches weren't effective. they lay out all these wonderful gifts, and of course they give more gifts to black buffalo because they see him as the head chief. well, that didn't do anything wit

he was the original landscape architect of the city. , actuallyrmany entered the kansas missouri -- missouri area when he was 18 years old. 1862 is when he was born. when he was about 22. he worked on a railroad car back in shawnee, kansas, and he came back to the kansas city side. there were other leaders of the community. a lot of his early training in european cities -- a lot of the great parks systems, europe, the result a high level of appreciation, what good landscape design is all about. this is also part of the city beautiful movement. back to a point in time when there are were a lot of shanties in the city. movementity beautiful came about when people realize they wanted to live in better living conditions. involved, they got with transportation systems. bridges. drinking water. all of this was the importance of growing a great city. it was a beautiful place to be. people were outside a lot. theid not have air-conditioning we have today. they spent time at outside. they wanted grass. they wanted trees. the city beautiful movement was about appearance and aesthetics, and at the same

this is where the famous painter from missouri lived in 1939 until 1975. tom benton lived here the last half of his life. when you visit the house, it is almost as if the benton's have stepped out for the david you can take a peek around and see how they lived. he was probably the most famous painter from missouri, most famous in the 1930's, 40's, is known for doing a style of art called regionalism. a lot of the midwest rural scenes, he often paints. he paints american labor scenes but it tends to be the rural aspect of it. his core belief was common art for the common man. he is an artist who becomes famous during his career, and fairly well-to-do. tom benton came from a political family. he was named for his great uncle senator thomas benton. tom grows up surrounded i politics -- by politics. his father was a successful lawyer. a u.s. district attorney. when tom was seven his father was elected to the house of representatives. the family moves to washington dc for eight years. for benton, growing up in bc, then coming back to the ozarks every summer, th

near missouri that was the case. the vast majority of individuals who owned slaves, owned fewer than ten slaves. in fact, many owned just a few, and so the question is, did that make a difference? does that make slavery operate in a different way than it did in other parts of the south? so that's what i set out to do try to look at whether slavery was different if -- according to writ was located, or the size of slaveholding. so, the immigration streams to missouri were mostly from the upper south. people came from virginia and kentucky to lesser extent from tennessee and from north carolina, and there was all this wonderfully fertile land. land was cheap. so they came out here and they engaginged in diversifieding agriculture but also grew some cash crops. they grew corn, they raised a lot of hogs but also grew. he and tobacco, and those are both -- the last or two very labor intensive crops and white men did not want to engage nat labor so they forced african-american men mostly to do that work. so, enslaved people
