Causes:

1. In 1854, the issue of slavery in the Kansas territory resurfaced.

2. Senator Stephen Douglass introduced a bill to set of a government for the Nebraska Territory. (This territory stretched from Texas all the way into Canada and from Missouri west to the Rockies).

Effects:

1. Douglass proposed that entire area be divided into two territories: Kansas and Nebraska.

2. He decided that the area should decide whether to be pro or antislavery through popular sovereignty.

The name of his bill was the Kansas- Nebraska Act. I hope this helped!
