The Border War began and 1854 with the Kansas-Nebraska act, which allowed for the opening of the two territories, leaving it up to the voters in each state to decide rather slavery would be legal or prohibited. Most Kansans settlers favored slavery at this time and were more concerned with settling the territory then arguing over slavery issues. The majority of Missourians were made up of individuals loyal to Federal governmentwho approved of slavery but wanted some compromise to be found that would keep the southern states in the Union. If Kansas entered the Union as a free state, then Missouri would be bordered on the east, west and north by states that prohibited slavery, giving abolitionists the opportunity to liberate slaves and also make it easier for slaves to escape from Missouri. Even though the number of slave owners in Missouri was small, Southerners largely populated the state, making up about 75% of the total population. Most of the slave owners owned just a few slaves and the types of crops they raised did not require a large number of slaves to plant and cultivate. Most of the residents worked small farms.
