Bleeding Kansas (2 ene 1854 año – 1 ene 1861 año)

Descripción:

"Bleeding Kansas is the term used to describe the period of violence during the settling of the Kansas territory. In 1854 the Kansas-Nebraska Act overturned the Missouri Compromise’s use of latitude as the boundary between slave and free territory and instead, using the principle of popular sovereignty, decreed that the residents would determine whether the area became a free state or a slave state. Proslavery and free-state settlers flooded into Kansas to try to influence the decision. Violence soon erupted as both factions fought for control." (Editors, 2009) Around 200 people died in Bleeding Kansas between 1854 and 1861. "Bleeding Kansas was the precursor to the civil war in a way that it was where confrontations started getting more serious and physical." ("10 Major Causes of the American Civil War | Learnodo Newtonic", 2018) The photo below shows a massacre that took place during Bleeding Kansas.
