Best Answer

The territory of Kansas, to the West of Missouri, was admitted to the Union under a local vote that would decide whether it would be a slave-state or a free state.

This system attracted every bully-boy from both sides, to cross into the state and intimidate voters. The ensuing period of violence was known as 'Bleeding Kansas'.
