Answer 1

The compromises caused the civil war by further diving the United States. They further divided the nation by







As stated in the Kansas-Nebraska Act informational text it states, “ Douglass proposed the Kansas Nebraska Act which he believed would serve as a final compromise measure. Through the invocation of popular sovereignty, Douglas proposed would allow the citizens of Kansas and Nebraska Territories rather than the government to decide whether to permit or forbid slavery within their borders.”. The Kansas Nebraska Act was a compromise proposed by Stephen A. Douglas. Stephen A. Douglas proposed to allow popular sovereignty in this new compromise back then. In previous compromises, popular sovereignty wasn’t even a factor. This meant in the Kansas Nebraska Act would let citizens of the states of both Kansas and Nebraska decide on if they wanted to allow slavery in their state or ban legally ban it from their state. This compromise was made to ease the sectional tension going on in the Western territories. Stephen Douglas thought this compromise would be the last and bring some type of peace or an end to the rivalry between anti-slavery states and pro-slavery states. This compromise didn’t bring any type of peace between the anti-slavery and pro-slavery states, it just worsened the rivalry between the two. Also in the Kansas-Nebraska Act information text, it states, “Military-minded combatants included so-called “border ruffians,” proslavery Missourians who felt deeply threatened by the possibility of a Free-State on their Western border, in addition to Iowa to the north and Illinois to the East. Border ruffians fought bitterly with Free-State “jayhawkers” and both carried out violent raids and committed massive voter fraud, leading to national headlines.” and “The fiery abolitionist John Brown arrived in Kansas in 1855, Bringing with him an interpretation of the Kansas-Nebraska Act as a divine call to arms, and his acts of aggression against Missouri slave owners came to characterize the violence along the border.”. The decision on whether or not Kansas would be a pro-slavery state or an anti-slavery state became chaotic. Those who lived in Missouri a pro-slavery state were not too pleased with the idea of Kansas becoming an anti-slavery state. Voter fraud was discovered in many elections lead by popular sovereignty in Kansas due to the tension between pro-slavery states and anti-slavery states at the time. Many people from Missouri became violent during the popular sovereignty vote counting in Kansas to became a free state or a slave state. Eventually, it led to Border Ruffians along with Jayhawkers became hostile along the border of Kansas. This battle on whether or not Kansas would join in on being a slave state or free state was the main factor of Bleeding Kansas. During Bleeding Kansas the now well-known abolitionist John Brown fought against the slave owners of Missouri alongside the border.



The Kansas Nebraska Act caused the civil war by further dividing the united states, this consisted of Electoral fraud and fights on the Kansas border that led to horrid Bleeding Kansas. This all played a big part in the creation of the civil war itself.
