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.
The act was designed by Democratic Senator Stephen A. Douglas of Illinois. The initial purpose of the KansasâNebraska Act was to open up many thousands of new farms and make feasible a Midwestern Transcontinental Railroad. The popular sovereignty clause of the law led pro-and anti-slavery elements to flood into Kansas with the goal of voting slavery up or down, leading to Bloody Kansas.
