It had been a hotbed of violence as factions had fought to have it declared a slave state. It was one of three new states added to strengthen the war effort in the north. In the days after the Soviet attacks in 1983, local leaders struggled with their identity as Americans. After particpating with neighboring states in the Lakota War, they briefly declared itself the \"Free State of West Kansas\" in 1991, but joined with other former US states to form the \"Provisional United States of America\" the next year. Reclaiming the name \"Kansas\" the government in Dodge City claimed the original boundaries, but the thirty participating counties of west Kansas (approx 22,000 sq mi) are generally recognized as the \"official\" Kansas."@en .
