The debate concerned whether James H. Lane, leader of the Free State forces in Kansas, was a liar.
Lane had submitted to Congress a memorial, purportedly by the members of the Kansas General Assembly, requesting Congress to accept the anti-slavery Topeka Constitution. Southerners asked, with obvious contempt, "Who is James H. Lane?" The debate, ostensibly about Lane's honor or lack thereof, became a dispute about the Free or Slave destiny of Kansas.
