Bleeding Kansas
Who?
What?
Where and When?
Pro-slavery parties like the Border Ruffians were fighting against anti-slavery groups like the Free Soldiers. Important politicians were debating about Bleeding Kansas. For example, Charles Sumner, senator of Mass, who believed Kansas needed to be a free state, and Mr. Butler, senator from South Carolina, who held the opposite opinion.
Why?
The Kansas Nebraska Act of 1854 ruled that popular sovereignty would be used to decide whether Kansas would enter as a free or a slave state. Outsiders came into Kansas to defend their side, either for slavery or against it. This is when the violence broke out and an inner state civil war started.
How?
This event took place in Kansas starting in 1854 and tensions stayed through the Civil War.
Pro-slavery people did not want another free state to be admitted into the Union. If Kansas was admitted to the Union as a free state it would of thrown off the balance between free and slave states.
Tensions were high and people were angry and became violent. People disregarded the federal government and took action into their own hands. Previous to this event tensions were already high between the North and South and between proslavery people and abolitionists.
