20: "In Kansas City," said Sir George
Campbell, "and still more in the suburbs of Kansas proper
the Negroes are much more numerous than I have yet seen. On
the Kansas side they form quite a large proportion of the
population. They are certainly subject to no indignity or
ill usage. There the Negroes seem to have quite taken to
work at trades." He saw them doing building work, both alone
and assisting white men, and also painting and other
tradesmen's work. On the Kansas side, he found a Negro
blacksmith, with an establishment of his own. He had come
from Tennessee after emancipation. He had not been back
there and did not want to go. He also saw black women
keeping apple stalls and engaged in other such occupations
so as to leave him under the impression that in the States,
which he called intermediate between black and white
countries the blacks evidently had no difficulty.--See
