In the election of 1855, Kansas held its first territorial legislature election, which became a battleground for pro-slavery and anti-slavery factions amid the broader national conflict over slavery. Known as "Bleeding Kansas," the election saw significant voter fraud, with thousands of pro-slavery supporters from Missouri crossing into Kansas to cast ballots. This led to the establishment of a pro-slavery legislature, intensifying tensions and violence between the opposing sides and foreshadowing the violent conflicts that would erupt in the territory.
