Before the US Supreme Court ruled that Congress had no right to interfere with slavery, the Congress had passed in 1854 the Kansas Nebraska Act. This act allowed people in the two territories to vote as to whether the "to be" States would be free ones or slave States.
This led to conflict and bloodshed between pro & anti slavery groups. As an aside, the future Harpers Ferry raider fought for anti slavery in Kansas. The two forces caused the label of Bleeding Kansas used to describe the situation there.
