Settlers in Kansas and Nebraska were allowed to decide the slavery issue through the principle of "popular sovereignty," established by the Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854.

This led to significant conflict, known as "Bleeding Kansas," as pro-slavery and anti-slavery settlers rushed to the territories to influence the vote. The resulting violence highlighted the deep divisions over slavery in the United States.

Additionally, it declared that Congress lacked the authority to prohibit slavery in the territories, effectively affirming the legality of slavery and intensifying national tensions over the issue.
