Answer: Because Kansas and Nebraska (which were both territories not states at the time) had to vote on whether they would allow slavery in their territory or not. So, supporters of slavery and those against slavery rushed to these places so they could participate in the vote. Some violence also broke out, which led the term "Bleeding Kansas".
The Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854, proposed by Stephen A.

In 1854, Senator Stephen Douglas wanted an intercontinental railroad connecting Chicago to the western territories. The railroad would be north of the 36º30' line designated as the territories to be free of slavery according to the Missouri Compromise of 1850 and thus make Nebraska a free state. The Southern states objected to this for they felt that states rights should hold true and it should be up to the population of Nebraska to decide. Douglas relented as the Kansas-Nebraska Act came into being. It stated the peoples of Nebraska, Kansas, New Mexico, and Utah territories would decided to become a free state or a slavery state, thus nullifying the Missouri Compromise.
