| Kansas-Nebraska
Act In 1854, Congress decided to extend popular sovereignty to the unsettled areas of the Louisiana Purchase, now know as the Kansas and Nebraska territories. This act led to violence and a pre-cursor to the Civil War as pro-abolition and pro-slavery forces flooded Kansas to sway the vote, in what became known as Bloody Kansas. |
