may 30, 1854 - The Kansas-Nebraska Act

Description:

-This act was passed and allowed people in the territories of Kansas and Nebraska to decide for themselves whether or not to allow slavery within those borders.
-Involved: Senator Stephen Douglas
-The Kansas-Nebraska Act led to the Civil War because it repealed the Missouri Compromise. It had applied the principle of popular sovereignty to the territories and permitted the expansion of slavery beyond the Southern states. In the end, it caused Bleeding Kansas, which later played part in the cause of the Civil War.
