The Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854

Creation of Kansas and Nebraska In 1854 the Kansas-Nebraska Act created the territories of Kansas and Nebraska. The Kansas-Nebraska Act was the brain-child of Illinois Senator Stephen A. Douglas.

The Question of Slavery The most controversial part of the Kansas-Nebraska Act was that it allowed the people living in those territories to decide on the issue of allowing or not allowing slavery. This was called… Popular Sovereignty

Reaction to Popular Sovereignty The New Kansas-Nebraska Act repealed the Missouri Compromise Line of 1820 Abolitionists were mad at the new law and began to move into Kansas to assure that the new state would be a free state Pro-slavery settlers began to move into Kansas to assure that it would be a slave state

The New United States Map

The term "Bleeding Kansas" was coined by Horace Greeley of the New York Tribune.

“Bleeding Kansas” Bleeding Kansas was a series of violent events, involving anti-slavery and pro-slavery settlers, that took place in the Kansas Territory and the western frontier towns of the U.S. state of Missouri between 1854 and 1858. These incidents were attempts to influence whether Kansas would enter the United States as a free or slave state.

Kansas Jayhawks Jayhawkers was a term that was given to militant bands affiliated with the free-state cause in Bleeding Kansas. These bands, known as "Jayhawkers", were guerrilla fighters who often clashed with pro-slavery groups from Missouri known at the time as "Border Ruffians". After the Civil War, the word "Jayhawker" became synonymous with the people of Kansas. Today the term is a nickname for a native-born Kansan.

Kansas Becomes a State Pro-slavery settlers drew up a state constitution and tried to achieve statehood but were rejected in 1858 by the U.S. Congress. Eventually, in 1861, only months before the start of the American Civil War, Kansas was admitted to the United States as a free state.

Violence in Kansas during the Civil War Pro- Slavery Leader William Quantrill's raid on Lawrence, Kansas in August, 1863 killed almost 200 people
