Description:

The Kansas-Nebraska Act is passed, making the territories of Kansas and Nebraska into states. This act repeals the Missouri Compromise of 1820. They decide to let Kansas and Nebraska decide their fate through popular sovereignty. This reopens the wound of slavery and sparks debates between anti-slavery and pro-slavery speakers.
