May 13, 2011 **Do Now: ** Kansas could’ve been called bleeding Kansas because of the Nebraska-Kansas Act. This allowed the soon to be states to choose whether they would be slave states or free states. People could’ve tried to use violence to make Kansas choose one side. ﻿They had violent debates, it was because of popular sovereignty, people being chopped up then served to the enemy. Anti-slavery/ abolitionists and free-soilers traveled to Kansas. The people that hated the abolitionists were the pro-slavery believer, slaveholders and the slave hunters.
