A local vote in Kansas to decide whether it should be slave or free.

Its sponsors simply didn't realise that it would attract cross-border terrorists from both sides to invade this thinly-populated area to intimidate the voters and try to get the results declared invalid.

'Bleeding Kansas' is regarded as a curtain-raiser for the Civil War. Some even claim that these were the opening shots of the war.
