Five years before the American Civil War, Kansas was already having it's own civil war. Kansas was just a territory in 1854, though it was sparsely settled, it was a strong candidateÊfor statehood. But before that could be established, the issue of slavery had to be settled by the resident settlers. It was because of this that the territory became hotly contested for on one side were the pro abolitionists and the other were the pro slavery constituents. Confrontations led from minor arguments to harsh and violent means which led to all out armed conflict.

What were the effects on the Kansas-nebraska act?
A local vote in Kansas to decide whether it should be slave or free. Its sponsors simply didn't realise that it would attract cross-border terrorists from both sides to invade this thinly-populated area to intimidate the voters and try to get the results declared invalid. 'Bleeding Kansas' is regarded as a curtain-raiser for the Civil War. Some even claim that these were the opening shots of the war.
The Sons of Liberty and other patriots helped lead to which war?
