Bleeding Kansas was a series of violent confrontations in the mid-1850s between pro-slavery and anti-slavery factions in the Kansas Territory, resulting from the debate over whether Kansas would enter the Union as a free or slave state. The conflict led to significant bloodshed, with hundreds of casualties, and became a precursor to the broader national conflict over slavery, ultimately contributing to the onset of the American Civil War. The turmoil highlighted the deep divisions in the United States regarding slavery and the struggle for control over new territories.
