Best Answer

The dispute was over whether Kansas would be admitted as a Slave State or a Free State. The Kansas-Nebraska Act allowed Kansas to enter as a Slave State if Nebraska entered as a Free one.

The "bleeding" was from advocates on both sides trying to suppress the other by murder and terrorism.
