In 1854, Congress passed the Kansas Nebraska Act. This called for the two territories of Kansas & Nebraska to hold elections as to whether they wished to be "fee" States or "slave" States when they entered the Union. So beginning in 1854, pro slavers and abolitionists fought for supremacy in Kansas. In 1861, Kansas entered the Union as a free State. The new law made the Missouri Compromise of 1850 moot. As an aside, abolitionist James Brown, fought in the Kansas "civil war' before his adventure at the Federal arsenal at Harper's Ferry.
