Kansas-Nebraska Act!
The Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854 nullified the Missouri Compromise of 1820, which had prohibited slavery in the northern part of the Louisiana Purchase territory. The Act allowed the territories of Kansas and Nebraska to determine for themselves whether they would allow slavery through the principle of popular sovereignty. This led to significant conflict and violence, known as "Bleeding Kansas," as pro-slavery and anti-slavery settlers rushed into the territories to influence the decision.
In the Compromise of 1850 and the Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854, popular sovereignty was proposed as a way to allow the settlers of new territories to decide for themselves whether to permit slavery. This approach aimed to ease tensions between pro-slavery and anti-slavery factions by deferring the contentious issue to local populations instead of Congress. However, this strategy ultimately led to increased conflict and violence, particularly in Kansas, as both sides rushed to influence the outcome.

Whichever side had more votes counted by officials would decide if Kansas would become a free state or a slave state.
