Kansas-Nebraska act helped shaped Nebraska southern border during civil war and slavery. On the southwest border with Colorado and western border of nebraska into wyoming its shaped like a panhandle due to the way the surveryors wanted Colorado and wyoming to be shaped. Gold and and silver was very important to colorado and wyoming so they shifted nebraska western half to be a panhandle. The northern border with South Dakota was influenced by Missouri river and so surveyors drew a straight line from the river west on 43 paralell north to wyoming. On the eastern border with Iowa the missouri river was a major influence of the eastern border.
