13 май 1854 г. - 1854-1856: Bleeding Kansas
Violent conflict between pro and
anti-slavery Americans in Kansas.
This conflict was caused by the idea of
Popular Sovereignty, or that the majority
of the state would decide if it was slave
or free. Popular Sovereignty was
proposed in the Kansas-Nebraska
Act of 1854. This was a win for the
Abolitionist cause because it
brought the nation closer to the civil war,
however,the violence gave
gave abolitionism a bad reputation.
