True. In the spring of 1855, an antislavery legislature was elected in Kansas, but the election was marred by significant controversy and allegations of voter fraud. Pro-slavery supporters from neighboring Missouri crossed the border to influence the election, resulting in a legislature that reflected their interests rather than a fair representation of Kansas settlers. This conflict was a key event in the lead-up to the violent struggles known as "Bleeding Kansas."
