The Kansas-Nebraska Act began a chain of events in the Kansas Territory that foreshadowed the Civil War. He said he wanted to see Nebraska made into a territory and, to win southern support, proposed a southern state inclined to support slavery. It was Kansas.
Stephen Douglas, a Democrat of Illinois, drafted the Kansas-Nebraska Act; it allowed the states in the North to decide to end slavery within its states, while the South could still allow slavery in that region. The act soon came under criticism as a tool to placate the slave powers of the South.
