The Organic Act, signed by President James Buchanan on May 21, 1854, established the territory of Kansas and Nebraska, allowing settlers to determine whether they would allow slavery. This act was significant as it effectively repealed the Missouri Compromise, leading to increased tensions and conflict over the expansion of slavery in the West, resulting in violent confrontations known as "Bleeding Kansas." The act aimed to facilitate westward expansion while leaving the contentious issue of slavery to popular sovereignty.
