Legislation

The Bogus Legislature enacted over 1,000 pages of legislation during its session at the Shawnee Manual Labor School. The pro-slavery members created a complete system of county government, a territorial school system, a justice system and a method of financing the costs of government. They also chartered towns, banks, railroads, ferries and a myriad of other enterprises. They had a complete plan for Kansas Territory but are remembered for their repressive "Black Law."
