Bleeding Kansas was a curtain-raiser for the Civil War, a small, local conflict that showed the dangerous enmity between the two sides. A well-meaning politician, Stephen Douglas, had suggested that the people of each new state ought to be allowed to vote on whether it would be slave or free (Popular Sovereignty'). By allowing one state at a time to vote, it attracted every bully-boy from both sides into that one thinly-populated area, to intimidate voters and try to upset the ballot. It convinced many people that the slavery debate would never be settled, except through violence.
Bleeding Sumner was a scandal in Congress, when a Southern politician Preston Brooks physically attacked Northern abolitionist Charles Sumner for slandering the Southern cause. This also demonstrated the violent feelings generated by the slavery debate, making a peaceful outcome seem more unlikely than ever.
