Under the terms of the Act, two territories were to be formed, Kansas and Nebraska. One would presumably become a slave state and the other a free state. Popular sovereignty would prevail and it was assumed that slave-owning Southerners would occupy Kansas and make it a slave state, while free state advocates would settle Nebraska. Things worked out as anticipated in Nebraska, but not in Kansas. Kansas was a Free State.

The Kansas polling was interrupted by terrorists from both sides, and the experience showed that the slavery question would never be resolved without bloodshed.
