Bleeding Kansas (1 июн 1854 г. – 1 янв 1861 г.)
Описание:
Bleeding Kansas is a time in history when violence broke out in the Kansas territory. The Missouri Compromise was overturned in 1854 by the Kansas-Nebraska Act. The Missouri Compromise was the use of latitude as a boundary between the slave and free states but the Kansas-Nebraska Act used popular sovereignty that allowed the residents to decide whether the area became a free state or a slave state. Pro slavery and anti-slavery settlers flocked to Kansas to try and influence the decision. Violence later erupted as both fought for control. John Brown, an abolitionist, led anti-slavery fighters in Kansas before the raid on Harpers Ferry.
