In 1854 The Kansas-Nebraska Act was passed and created the territories of Kansas and Nebraska. It also opened up new lands, allowed the Missouri Compromise of 1820 to be repealed, and allowed people who were settled in those areas to determine if they would allow slavery within their boundaries.

Also, it was intended to open the opportunity for a Mideastern Transcontinental Railroad.

What else can I help you with?
