Widespread violence erupted in Kansas over slavery in the mid-1850s due to the Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854, which allowed settlers to decide through popular sovereignty whether slavery would be allowed in the territory. Pro-slavery and anti-slavery settlers clashed as they tried to influence the outcome, leading to a series of violent conflicts known as "Bleeding Kansas".
"Bleeding Kansas" was the term used by newspapers to describe the conflict over slavery in Kansas, which erupted in violence between pro-slavery and anti-slavery forces in the 1850s.
