The issue of slavery between Kansas and Nebraska would be decided by a vote from the people of the state.
Two groups were organized to influence their votes.
The Compromise of 1820 stated that Kansas and Nebraska would remain free states!
The Kansas-Nebraska Act had allowed the people residing in the Kansas Territory to decide for
themselves whether or not to permit slavery. Some Southerners hoped to make Kansas a slave state,
hoping to reduce the North's advantage in the United States Senate. Many Northerners intended to
prevent slavery at all costs. Three distinct political groups occupied Kansas: pro-slavers, free-staters
and abolitionists. Violence broke out immediately between these opposing factions and continued until
1861 when Kansas entered the Union as a free state on January 29th. less than three
months before the Battle of Fort Sumter which began the Civil War.
