re-evaluate everything and have the national government decide on the fate of Kansas. To me the natiopnal governmet let it get too out of hand.

Nothing could have prevented the violence, as long as only one state was voting at a time. This was a magnet for terrorists. The only way would have been to organise a simultaneous vote in all the Western territories at once. dick

It's a matter of opinion, but I think not. Unlike other states, residents of Kansas were fairly evenly divided on the issue of slavery and determined to fight it out.
The earliest violence broke out in Kansas (known as "bleeding Kansas") between settlers there who supported abolition, and settlers from neighboring Missouri who ran raiding parties, as supporters of slavery. Kansas had been given the option to choose for itself whether it wanted to be a Free State or a Slave State. This violence broke out well before the Civil War, as early as the 1850s, and continued sporadically straight through the end of the War.
No, there has not been a cure or vaccine that can prevent Tourettes made. We hope someday there might be
Pro-slavery and anti-slavery forces fought for control of the territory because it had not yet been decided if Kansas would become a free or slave state.
No good solutions have been identified. If they had been, gang violence would have been eliminated.
No, it would only have been postponed, and perhaps would have started the whole Civil War business early as all the States in favour of slavery would have witnessed an upheaval.
Calls for a legal opinion - see an attorney. If the violence was documented in any fashion (police report - court action - domestic violence order - etc) it MIGHT very well prove to be material in the divorce action.
