Nebraska-Kansas Act
What is the Kansas Nebraska act? - The Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854 created the territories of
Kansas and Nebraska, opening new lands for settlement, and had the effect of repealing the Missouri
Compromise of 1820 by allowing white male settlers in those territories to determine through popular
sovereignty whether they would allow slavery.
Did the Nebraska Kansas act make things better? - No, it led to violence .
Land Rush - Nebraska was too far north for plantations--people of Nebraska wanted territory
without slavery. Kansas was further south and platations could be built there. As soon as the Kansas-
Nebraska Act was passed, thousands of people rushed to claim land in Kansas. This would tip the vote on
slavery.
Were Kansas and Nebraska a free or slave state? - Settlers had the right to popular sovereignty.
What did the Nebraska Kansas act do? - Nebraska was turned into Kansas and Nebraska.
What happened to railroads? - Stephen Douglas proposed that railroads be built to link the east
and far west
What north slave or anti slave - Yes
What was "Bleeding Kansas"? - The south crossed the border into Kansas and terrorized and
murdered antislavery settlers. Antislavery sympathizers from Kansas carried out reprisal attacks, the
most notorious of which was John Brown's 1856 attack on the settlement at Pottawatomie Creek. The
war continued for four years before the antislavery forces won. The violence it generated helped
precipitate the Civil War.
What was the purpose? - To open up farms and make railroads.
