What exactly is bleeding Kansas?

About 5 years before the Civil War started, Kansas was about to become a state, but nobody could agree if it should be a Slave state or a Free state. So some Congressmen thought the best idea was to let the people in the new state decide for themselves. In response to this idea, people from both sides started to move to Kansas so they could then decide which side it would join. But it didn't take long for fighting to start, and a small war was fought between the settlers for both sides. Eventually the Free side won, and the state joined the Union as a Free state... three months before the Civil War started.

What did Kansas have to do with segregation?

Kind of a vague question, but since the category is regarding the civil war I'll go that direction.Bloody Kansas or the Border War, was a series of violent events, involving anti-slavery Free-Staters and pro-slavery "Border Ruffian" elements, that took place in the Kansas Territory and the western frontier towns of the U.S. state of Missouri roughly between 1854 and 1858. At the heart of the conflict was the question of whether Kansas would enter the Union as a free state or slave state. As such, Bleeding Kansas was a proxy war between Northerners and Southerners over the issue of slavery in the United States. The term "Bleeding Kansas" was coined by Horace Greeley of the New York Tribune; the events it encompasses directly presaged the American Civil War.The United States had long struggled to balance the interests of slaveholders and abolitionists. The events later known as Bleeding Kansas were set into motion by the Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854, which nullified the Missouri Compromise and instead implemented the concept of popular sovereignty. An ostensibly democratic idea, popular sovereignty stated that the inhabitants of each territory or state should decide whether it would be a free or slave state; however, this resulted in immigration en masse to Kansas by activists from both sides. At one point, Kansas had two separate governments, each with its own constitution, although only one was federally recognized. On January 29, 1861, Kansas was admitted to the Union as a free state, less than three months before the Battle of Fort Sumter which began the Civil War.
