- Constitution_Hall_(Topeka,_Kansas) abstract "Constitution Hall, in Topeka, Kansas, is one of the most famous buildings dating from the history of early Kansas. It was a two-story building constructed between April and October 1855 of native limestone with a flat roof on the 400 block of Kansas Avenue, then in the center of Topeka's downtown, by brothers Loring and John Farnsworth. It remained uncompleted for a period. After its walls were plastered in October, those opposed to introducing slavery into Kansas Territory met in what became the Topeka Constitutional Convention which opened October 23, 1855.Almost forty delegates, who all opposed slavery and the southern element in Kansas, met. At the time, the southerners controlled the legal government of the territory which committed many illegal acts. The element controlled by the northern immigrants into Kansas established their own government, which had no legal standing.The convention produced what became known as the Topeka Constitution which the United States House of Representatives adopted in July 1856, but failed in the Senate by two votes. Parts were incorporated into the Kansas state constitution drafted in 1861.Constitution Hall became the meeting place of the northern element's government and legislature. This legislature drew the wrath of the southerners in Congress, who asked President Franklin Pierce, a southerner, to intervene. In July 1856, Pierce dispatched federal troops led by Col. Edwin V. Sumner to disperse the Topeka legislature. The troops arrived at Constitution Hall on July 4. Facing soldiers with rifles, bayonets and a cannon, the members of the Topeka legislature were forced to disperse.The government of the northern element continued to meet at Constitution Hall, sometimes storing supplies seized in southern communities in the basement of the building. By the early 1860s abutting buildings were constructed to the north and south of Constitution Hall making it part of a contiguous row of buildings. When Kansas became a state in 1861,Topeka became the capital.".
