The Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854 effectively overturned the Missouri Compromise of 1820. The Missouri Compromise had prohibited slavery in the northern part of the Louisiana Purchase, specifically north of the 36°30′ parallel. By allowing settlers in Kansas and Nebraska to decide whether to allow slavery through popular sovereignty, the Kansas-Nebraska Act nullified the restrictions set by the Missouri Compromise.
