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.
