Prior to the Civil War many people thought the issue of slavery should be based on popular sovereignty which meant that?
Prior to the Civil War, the concept of popular sovereignty suggested that the decision to allow or prohibit slavery in a territory should be made by the residents of that territory rather than imposed by Congress. This idea was intended to provide a democratic approach to the issue, allowing settlers to vote on the legality of slavery. However, it ultimately led to significant conflict and violence, particularly in places like Kansas, as pro-slavery and anti-slavery factions clashed over the issue. Ultimately, the reliance on popular sovereignty highlighted the deep divisions within the country regarding slavery.
