Kansas Nebraska Act
Kansas-Nebraska
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.
The Kansas-Nebraska Act, passed in 1854, was primarily championed by Senator Stephen A. Douglas. It created the territories of Kansas and Nebraska, allowing settlers to decide the issue of slavery through popular sovereignty. This act effectively repealed the Missouri Compromise, leading to significant political and social turmoil, including violent conflicts known as "Bleeding Kansas." The act was opposed by many abolitionists and heightened tensions between pro-slavery and anti-slavery factions in the United States.

The Kansas-Nebraska Act also led to "Bleeding Kansas," a mini civil war that erupted in Kansas in 1856. Northerners and Southerners flooded Kansas in 1854 and 1855, determined to convert the future state to their view on slavery.
The Missouri Compromise was effectively ended by the Kansas-Nebraska Act, however since there was still turmoil as to the "Bleeding Kansas" dispute, it was thought that the Kansas-Nebraska Act would be shortly overturned. The Dred Scott decision by the Supreme Court further strengthened the elimination of the Missouri Compromise and the institution of slavery north of the Mason-Dixon Line by ruling that slaves were not able to take cases to court.
