In 1857, this building was one of the busiest and most important in Kansas Territory. On the first floor, thousands of settlers and speculators filed claims in the US land office. They occasionally fought hand-to-hand for their share of the arable lands that were opening for settlement. The government was moving the Indians from Kansas to make their lands available to whites.
Meanwhile, upstairs, the district court tried to enforce the territorial laws. Most free-state people would not obey these laws because they'd been written and passed by the pro-slavery territorial legislature. This made law enforcement almost impossible for officials of the Kansas Territory. To keep order, the territorial governors repeatedly had to call out federal troops from Forts Leavenworth or Riley.
In Jan. 1857 the 2nd territorial legislative assembly met on the top floor. Even though the group was still firmly pro-slavery, they repealed some of the earlier laws that their antislavery neighbors opposed.
The Lecompton Constitutional Convention met that autumn in this same assembly room to write a constitutionthat would make Kansas a state. Journalists from across the United states came to report on the meetings. Many Americans were afraid of a civil war if the convention could not satisfy both forces, proslavery and antislavery. Sadly, compromise failed because proslavery men dominated the convention. They made a document that protected slavery no matter how the people of Kansas Territory voted. This was terrible for those who were antislavery, so they refused to participate in what they considered to be an illegal "bogus" government. Eventually the Lecompton Constitution lost out at the national level. It never went into effect.
Instead, free-state forces rallied support. In the 1857 election, they took control of the territorial legislature. Two months later, this new legislature was called into special session to deal with critical problems in the Kansas Territory. They met in this same assembly hall that their enemies had controlled only a few weeks before, and began to reform the laws of Kansas Territory according to their own beliefs. That work went on in later legislative sessions. In 1858 the assembly was moved from the proslavery capital of Lecompton to the free-state town of Lawrence.

I'm actually not sure while building this is, but it has "We the People..." on it, so I'm assuming it has something to do with the Constitution. I took this picture while riding the Duck, and these news vehicles were all over the place because ex-president Bush, Bill Clinton, Bon Jovi and a bunch of other famous people were in town for some awards ceremony.
