Kansas Nebraska Act

Picture
Picture
By 1854, the areas of Kansas and Nebraska both were applying to become states. The issue of not allowing slavery north of the 36’30’ once again became an issue. To solve this issue, the Kansas Nebraska Act did two things:
  1. 1. Repealed (took away) the Missouri Compromise
  2. 2. Called for popular sovereignty (people rule) to decide whether new territories would allow slavery in Kansas and Nebraska territories.

Picture
Many Northerners felt that the Kansas Nebraska Act did not help anybody except the Southern economy. This also occurred two years after the publication of Uncle Tom’s Cabin which had the effect of leading many people in free states becoming abolitionists.
The Kansas Nebraska Act had 2 effects:
  1. Pro and anti-slavery settlers in Kansas began to fight each other in what became known as “Bleeding Kansas”
  2. Northerners who were upset with the decision created the Republican Party
