The Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854 called for "popular sovereignty" which meant that the people living in that area were to vote on if they wanted slavery or freedom for Blacks. People came from nearby states to try to make the election go in their favor. Many fights and murders happened. In 1861, Nebraska voted to prohibit slavery but the governor vetoed it. the legislature overrode the veto. Nebraska suffrage to "free white males" until 1866 when they changed that to become a state.
