==Early Life==
Reeder was born on July 12, 1807 in [[Easton, Pennsylvania]]. He went to school in [[Lawrenceville, New Jersey]]. He became a lawyer in 1828 in [[Pennsylvania]]. In 1831, he married Frederika Amalia Hutter. They had three sons and seven daughters.
==Kansas==
Reeder supported the idea of popular sovereignty (where people in a state would decide whether a state becomes free or slave) about slavery. On June 29, 1854, President [[Franklin Pierce]] asked Reeder to be the governor of the Kansas Territory. He said yes. He would stay governor until August 16, 1855.
On March 30, 1855, many pro-slavery people from [[Missouri]] illegally voted in Kansas. Those people wanted Kansas to become a slave state. This caused a lot of violence between Missouri and Kansas, known as [[Bleeding Kansas]]. Reeder did not approve the results. He set up new elections.<ref>{{cite web|title=Andrew Horatio Reeder|url=http://www.territorialkansasonline.org/~imlskto/cgi-bin/index.php?SCREEN=bio_sketches/reeder_andrew|publisher=Territorial Kansas Online|access-date=7 September 2012|archive-date=10 November 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121110144807/http://www.territorialkansasonline.org/%7Eimlskto/cgi-bin/index.php?SCREEN=bio_sketches%2Freeder_andrew|url-status=dead}}</ref>
President Franklin Pierce asked Reeder to quit. This is because Reeder did not let Kansas become a slave state.
