Why is the Kansas-Nebraska act important?

Answer 1

It is because it led to the Civil War.

After the Kansas Nebraska Act the north and south argued and fought over the question of slavery each time a new state wanted to enter the Union. The south finally got so tired of all the fighting and arguing that they decided to break away from the U.S. and be their own country. Fighting over whether the south would be its own country finally started the Civil War.
