The Kansas-Nebraska Act, passed in 1854, created the territories of Kansas and Nebraska and allowed the settlers in those territories to determine whether they would allow slavery through popular sovereignty. This act effectively repealed the Missouri Compromise of 1820, which had prohibited slavery in those territories. The controversy surrounding the act intensified sectional tensions and contributed to the rise of the Republican Party.
