How did the compromise of 1850 and the kansas Nebraska act different?
The compromise of 1850 revisits the long time argument concerning which states should be free and which states should be able to have slaves. Prior to that (and the Kansas Nebraska Act) the Missouri Compromise of 1820 had established a sort of line to divide all the slave states from the free. The Kansas Nebraska act had undone all the effort put into the Missouri Compromise and it allowed for attention so shift back to the issue of slavery. The Missouri Compromise had basically delayed that issue and the Kansas Nebraska Act and The Compromise of 1850 touched up on an increasingly sensitive topic which fuels the first sparks which lead to the Civil War.
