The Kansas Nebraska Act was an attempt by Stephen Douglass to develope the Nebraska territories so that he could run the transcontinental railroad through there. He proposed to break the territory up into Kansas and Nebraska and allow the issue of slavery to be settled by popular soveringty. The first issue with this is the fact that Kansas is north of the 36"30' line set by the Thomas Proviso and ther Missuri Compromis of 1820. Since the future of slavery in Kansas would be decide by popular vote and antislavery settlers out numbered proslavery settlers, each side tried to infulence the vote. Senator David Atchison of MS lead a group of people known as the Border ruffians into Kansas to illegally vote proslavery. The North also tried a similar stratagy but with limited success (New England Emigrant Aid company). The Porslavery legislature was voted into power and they drafted up the Lecompton constatution. The antislavery settlers, out raged by the illeagal voting setup an antislavery legislature in Lawrence. Soon the Proslavery intrest marched on Lawrence killing about 200 people and dissolving that legislature. This was the basiclly the first battle of the civil war.
