Slaves
Nebraska was acquired by the United States through the Louisiana Purchase in 1803, when the U.S. purchased a vast territory from France. The region that is now Nebraska was initially part of the unorganized territory established by the Missouri Compromise in 1820. It became a part of the Nebraska Territory when it was created in 1854, following the passage of the Kansas-Nebraska Act. This act allowed settlers in the territory to determine whether they would allow slavery, leading to significant conflict known as "Bleeding Kansas."
Kansas and Nebraska were created after the Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854. The reason for this Act was to open new farmland and create a Transcontinental Railroad.
