What was the Kansas-Nebraska Act?
The 1854 Kansas-Nebraska Act was a law that stated that in the newly formed states of Kansas and Nebraska the people living there would have to decided weather or not to accept slavery. Eventually, the act brought with it a lot of clashes, like what is known as "bleeding Kansas", where pro and anti slavery supporters battled against one another.
