The Kansas-Nebraska Act (1854) (SSUSH9a) • Stephen Douglas pushed the Kansas-Nebraska Act through Congress despite the criticism from Northern congressmen that the bill violated the Missouri Compromise. • Since popular sovereignty would decide whether slavery would be allowed in Kansas, violence broke out between pro-slavery and anti-slavery forces in what came to be known as “Bleeding Kansas”. • Pro-slavery forces attacked anti-slavery settlers in Lawrence and John Brown and his followers took revenge on the pro-slavery settlement in Pottawatamie Creek.
