Discover Shawnee
A Shawnee Indian mission was founded on the site of Shawnee in 1831. Before and after the Civil War the town lay on the government road between Fort Leavenworth and Fort Riley, and in the mid-19th century branches of the Oregon Trail and the nearby Santa Fe Trail, through Olathe, Overland Park and Kansas City, brought settlers through the area. Shawnee was laid out as a town in 1857. Kansas became the 34th state, a free state, on January 29, 1861, which deepened the conflict between antislavery settlers and proslavery guerrillas.
More about Shawnee
In October 1862 William Quantrill ordered an attack on Shawnee, and the town was looted and burned to the ground. His bushwhackers returned in the summer of 1863 to raid it again and scout an escape route from Lawrence, 35 miles away, which they intended to sack. The raids on Shawnee served as rehearsals for the Lawrence Massacre of August 1863, in which Quantrill's men rounded up and killed many of the town's men. Sources Wikipedia: Shawnee, Kansas
