The Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854 was primarily proslavery in its implications, as it allowed the territories of Kansas and Nebraska to decide for themselves whether to allow slavery through the principle of popular sovereignty. This effectively repealed the Missouri Compromise, which had prohibited slavery in those territories. The act led to violent conflicts known as "Bleeding Kansas," as proslavery and antislavery factions clashed over the issue. Thus, while it aimed to create a compromise, it ultimately intensified the national debate over slavery.
