Pre-territorial Kansas refers to what time period in the state's history?

The years before 1492

The years before 1854

The years before 1861

the years before 1776

The years before 1854

Are you sure?

I apologize for the incorrect response. It should be "the years before 1854."

i am hoping that this is right

Yes, you are correct. Pre-territorial Kansas refers to the time period before 1854 in the state's history. This is because Kansas Territory was officially established in 1854 with the passage of the Kansas-Nebraska Act.
