What was the significance of Lecompton, Kansas as the territorial capital?

I went to the museum in Lecompton, Kansas today to see their Christmas tree exhibit and was given this reprint of The New York Times Newspaper:

I attached the full size images which might be easier to read.

Yes, it is.

 

[dlgoff]

Yes, it is.

So, you were able to read it okay?

Well, no.

I think perhaps a teaser would be in order - something that might pique a potential reader's curiosity and draw them in.

I really don't know what you mean.

PF automatically downsizes the images. To read the full sized versions, you'll either need to post them elsewhere and link to them, or alternatively, type in the text.

I really don't know what you mean.

1. The title contains three words that, while I recognize, I'm not used to seeing together, and make no sense to me. They do not illuminate the subject of the thread, except for Kansas, but then the thread seems to also have something to do with Christmas.
2. The body of the thread contains photos of New York Times newspaper pages, which is a complete non sequitur, though they too reference Kansas.

None of that explains why you've presented this for us to read.

Sorry you don't understand why I posted the reproduction that was given to me while visiting the Christmas tree exhibit. Discussion Ended.

Sorry about that. I don't mean to be a stinker.
