1854 - 1861 | Bleeding Kansas (1 Jan 1854 Jahr – 1 Jan 1861 Jahr)

Beschreibung:

Bleeding Kansas, Bloody Kansas or the Border War was a series of violent civil confrontations in the United States between 1854 and 1861 which emerged from a political debate over the legality of slavery in the state of Kansas. In 1854 the Kansas-Nebraksa Act overturned the Missouri Compromise’s use of latitude as the boundary between slave and free territory. Proslavery and free-state settlers went into Kansas to try to influence the decision. Violence soon erupted as both factions fought for control.
