Yes. The slavery in Nebraska is said to have been short and limited. There where no slaves in 1820, and then nothing happened on slavery until 1855. In 1855, 13 slaves inhabited Nebraska. The amount of slaves in Nebraska slowly diminished, and in 1861, Nebraska's legislature passed an act that completely abolished slavery.

Was the Kansas Nebraska act pro slavery or antislavery?

The Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854 was pro-slavery in that it allowed the territories of Kansas and Nebraska to decide for themselves whether to permit slavery through popular sovereignty. This effectively repealed the Missouri Compromise, which had previously banned slavery in those territories. The act led to significant conflict, known as "Bleeding Kansas," as pro-slavery and anti-slavery forces clashed over the issue. Thus, while it theoretically allowed for both positions, it favored the expansion of slavery into new territories.
