Why were northerners upset when Kansas became a slave state?
Kansas didn't become a slave-state. The issue was put to a local vote, and terrorists from both sides invaded the state to try to intimidate the voters. After much violence ("Bleeding Kansas"), it became clear that quite a big majority wanted it to be a free state. It was the South that was upset.

This provision, known as "popular sovereignty," led to increased tensions and the eventual outbreak of violence in Kansas over the issue of slavery.

What contribution did the Kansas Nebraska Act have on the beginning of the Civil War?
It led to violence the first time they tried local voting on the slavery issue. That was in 'Bleeding Kansas', where the locals got a curtain-raiser of the upcoming civil war, when terrorists from both sides (including John Brown) entered the state to intimidate voters and cause mayhem.
