two opposing governments were established in kansas: proslavery and antislavery
The newly opened territory of Kansas became a battleground for slavery due to the Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854, which allowed settlers to determine whether they would allow slavery through popular sovereignty. This led to a rush of pro-slavery and anti-slavery settlers moving into the territory, resulting in violent conflicts known as "Bleeding Kansas." Both sides sought to influence the territory's political landscape, leading to clashes that highlighted the deep national divisions over slavery. The turmoil in Kansas became a microcosm of the larger national struggle over slavery, ultimately contributing to the tensions that ignited the Civil War.
Pro-slavery and anti-slavery forces fought for control of the territory because it had not yet been decided if Kansas would become a free or slave state.
Missouri did not send delegates to the Constitutional Convention of 1787. At that time, Missouri was not yet a state; it was part of the larger territory known as the Louisiana Territory, which was acquired by the United States in 1803. The delegates at the convention were primarily from the original thirteen states that were seeking to create a new constitution for the United States. Missouri would later become a state in 1821.
Senator Stephen A. Douglas believed that through popular sovereignty, the people of the Kansas Territory would vote to become a free state upon its entry into the Union. He believed that the settlers in the Kansas Territory had gone there to escape slavery and the competition of slaves in the labor market. As far as Douglas could tell, the people of Kansas were small time farmers who had little interest in having slavery as part of their economy.
There was an issue over whether Missouri would become a slave or free state. It also raised the question of other new states being introduced into the United States. A compromise was made to allow Missouri to be admitted as a slave state and Kansas to be admitted as a free state.
