9 ene 1854 año - The Kansas-Nebraska Act 1853 Passed to try and keep conflicts in the north and south at bay, however, it ended in more violence. New states Kansas and Nebraska could vote if they wanted to be a slave or free state based on popular sovereignty. When the election came, many people from Missouri crossed the border illegally and voted in favor of slave states. This turned into what is known as Bleeding Kansas and would cause more sectionalism between the North and the South.
