Detailed explanation-1: -The Kansas-Nebraska Act repealed the Missouri Compromise, created two new territories, and allowed for popular sovereignty. It also produced a violent uprising known as “Bleeding Kansas, ” as proslavery and antislavery activists flooded into the territories to sway the vote.
Detailed explanation-2: -Territory north of the sacred 36°30’ line was now open to popular sovereignty. The North was outraged. The Kansas-Nebraska act made it possible for the Kansas and Nebraska territories (shown in orange) to open to slavery. The Missouri Compromise had prevented this from happening since 1820.
