Shipping from the State of Nebraska to Kansas
On 1st March 1867, two years after the civil war ended, Nebraska became a part of the Union, making it the 37th state in the country. The state possesses a lot of lands suitable for farming and ranching activities. Before it became a state, Nebraska had a small population that later grew during the California Gold Rush in 1848. This increase in population came with a large wave of settlers arriving as homesteaders in the 1860s. Omaha was the state’s initial territorial capital of Nebraska, but the seat later moved to Lancaster. After Abraham Lincoln’s assassination in 1865, Lancaster was renamed Lincoln in his honour.
Nebraska shares boundaries with South Dakota to the North, Colorado to the South, Wyoming to the West and Iowa and Missouri to the East. It has the appellation Nicknamed “Cornhusker State,” and its motto is “Equality Before the Law.”
Shipping to the State of Nebraska from Kansas
Kansas whose capital is Topeka is bordered by Nebraska in the north; Missouri in the east; Oklahoma in the south; and Colorado in the west. The state is divided into 105 counties with 628 cities. Its largest county by surface area is Butler County. The state is equidistant from both the Pacific and Atlantic oceans.
Kansas, situated on the American Great Plains, gained statehood as the 34th in the country on January 29, 1861. Its path to statehood was a long one filled with blood. The Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854 opened both territories to settlement and allowed the new settlers to decide whether the states would be admitted into the union as “free” or “slave”. The north and south competed to send the most settlers into the region and this quickly resulted in violence. Hence the appellation “Bleeding Kansas”.
In 1954, Kansas became a battleground of the civil rights movement when the pivotal Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka case was decided in the Supreme Court. This resulted in the abolishment of the “separate but equal” doctrine in public schools. Kansas is also known for its contributions to jazz music and barbecue.
Kansas has some nicknames including Sunflower State, Wheat State, and Jayhawk State of the country. The state’s motto is “Ad Astra per Aspera” which means “to the stars through difficulties” which simulates its history of struggle.
