Not very accurate.
I assume you are referring to "Bleeding Kansas", which were a series of skirmishes between pro-slave and anti-slave Americans from all over the country, trying to sway to vote to legalize slavery in Kansas.
This is not considered the start of the civil war, as the US Government and military had no participation in the skirmishes.
The official start of the Civil War would be The Battle for Fort Sumter, which took place in South Carolina (the first state to secede from the union)
Yes. It is regarded as the curtain-raiser, the forthcoming civil war in microcosm - the proof that the slavery debate would never be settled, except through violence.
Kansas was thrown into a violent period known as Bleeding Kansas on May 21, 1856, at the hands of anti-slavery advocates from Missouri. It would end with the institution of the Lecompton Constitution.
At first, they would sneak out at night, and follow the North Star, a star that led them North. They would travel at night, and hide during the day, from slave owners. Then when Kansas was given the option to vote on weather or not Kansas should be a Free State or a Slave State. That's when Bleeding Kansas Came in. People were having a miniature Civil War between Missouri and Kansas. John brown, a Jawhawker (antislavery) would take a group of men, and go to Missouri, and take some slaves, and bring them back to Kansas. Because Missouri was a Slave State... Then Later the Civil War broke out. Im only 13, and this is the best information i can provide you with!
Not by any stretch of the imagination I can conjure. As one of the pre-war compromises Kansas was left to decide whether it would be slave or free by a vote of those who settled there. This stimulated a migration to Kansas of anti-slavery abolitionists, which eventually assured that Kansas entered the Union as a free state. The abolitionists founded the town of Lawrence, Kansas, which was a hateful place to pro-slavery groups, and this was why the town was attacked and burned in a raid by Quantrill's raider's in 1863, with many townsmen slaughtered. Before the actual Civil War began there was a mini civil war between abolitionists who had moved to Kansas, known as "Jayhawkers", and pro-slavery Missouri "Red Legs". John Brown, later hung for his raid on Harper's Ferry in 1859, first was among the abolitionists who moved to Kansas, where, with his sons, he murdered several slave owners. All this violence gave Kansas the eventual nickname "Bleeding Kansas". These events are so important in the state's heritage that the University of Kansas athletic teams are today the "Jayhawks".
The bloodshed in Kansas would have been avoided. The line of the Missouri Compromise would have remained. But that line did not extend into the new territories acquired from Mexico. There would have to have been some other provision for the possible creation of new slave-states in the West. Otherwise, the country would have drifted towards Civil War anyway.
No. The Kansas state legislature has never passed a bill that would legalize civil unions and, as a result, no governor of Kansas has ever had the opportunity to sign or veto such a bill.
Do you mean, who refused to leave her bus seat and began the civil rights movement? If so, the person you are looking for would be Rosa Parks.

The Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854 called for "popular sovereignty." The decision about slavery was to be made by the settlers in Kansas rather than by outsiders. The decision as to whether Kansas would become a free state or a slave state would be decided by the votes of people in Kansas. Whichever side had more votes counted by officials would decide if Kansas would become a free state or a slave state. Kansas became a hotbed of violence and chaos as free state and slave state forces collided.
Her arrest began the civil rights movement and a year long boycott of the buses. The end result would be the 1964 civil rights act.
Primarily Kansas, although Missouri was also involved. The term "Bloody Kansas" refers to a pre-civil war period in which Abolitionists and Slavery-supporters entered into a conflict. The slavers from Missouri would cross into Kansas to slaughter the Kansas Abolitionists, and vice-versa.
