Events- Bleeding Kansas was when both people who supported slavery and those who opposed it rushed to Kansas. This was because the Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854 allowed the states to either permit or ban slavery based on a popular vote.
Effects - This event led to the Civil war, because the fighting amongst the two sides resulted in the death of fifty-six people. This burst of bloodshed shocked the nation and created an even wider division between the North and the South.
