How did Nebraska become a Territory?

To begin with, Nebraska was gained as a territory at first during Thomas Jefferson's presidency, in which he made the Louisiana Purchase. Afterwards, Lewis and Clarke led their influential expedition which led others to live in the territory. Nebraska was finally admitted as a territory when Senator Stephen Douglas proposed the idea of popular sovereignty for the "Kansas- Nebraska Act", in this idea the people living within the land voted for whether or not they wanted slavery. People ended up voting for slavery thus repealing the Missouri Compromise, which had banned any slavery north of the 36' 30' line.


Was the Nebraska Territory bigger or smaller than the state of Nebraska?

The Nebraska Territory was larger than the current state of Nebraska. Established in 1854, it encompassed not only present-day Nebraska but also parts of what are now Wyoming, South Dakota, and Kansas. The territory was eventually divided into several states, with Nebraska becoming a state in 1867. Thus, the Nebraska Territory spanned a much larger area than the state as it exists today.
