Kansas-Nebraska
The Kansas-Nebraska Act became a Law on March 30, 1854.

The Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854 called for the citizens of the territories of Kansas and Nebraska to vote as to whether they would become free states or slave states. There was a severe conflict in Kansas between the two sides which resulted in bloodshed. This was the reason for the phrase "Bleeding Kansas".

The Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854 allowed the residents of Kansas and Nebraska to decide through popular sovereignty whether to allow slavery within their borders. This overturned the Missouri Compromise of 1820 and resulted in significant conflict and violence in the region as both pro- and anti-slavery settlers sought to influence the outcome.
