Why was red cloud nebraska considered part of kansas territiory in 1864?

In 1864, Red Cloud, Nebraska, was considered part of the Kansas Territory due to the boundaries established by the Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854, which created the territories of Kansas and Nebraska. At the time, the region that would become Nebraska was still undergoing territorial organization and governance, and the borders were not firmly defined. Additionally, conflicts over land and settlement patterns, particularly involving Native American tribes and settlers, contributed to the fluidity of territorial claims in the area. It wasn't until 1867 that Nebraska was officially admitted to the Union as a state.
