Cool Things, New England Emigrant Aid Company sign, Kansas State Historical Society (602 words)
The company reorganized in 1855 as the New England Emigrant Aid Company (NEEAC).
NEEAC secretary Thomas Webb wrote in an 1855 pamphlet that individuals in New England Emigrant Aid Company parties were not required to promise they would vote against slavery in Kansas Territory, however, he assumed they would support the free-state cause.
NEEAC also suffered a major setback that provided a great deal of publicity for both the company and the free-state cause.
