When it was clear that the Compromise of 1850 had failed, the Kansas-Nebraska Act was introduced asan experiment in allowing the people of each new state to vote on whether it should be slave or free.
It was tried in Kansas, and every bully-boy in America, from both sides of the debate, immediately headed for that thinly-populated territory, either to buy cheap property and qualify for the vote, or just to terrorise voters and get the results declared rigged.
In the end, it turned out that the people of Kansas were voting to be free soil, but the bloodshed was so terrible, that the experiment was not tried in Nebraska, which did not enter the Union until after the 13th Amendment had been passed, and slavery outlawed.
