After the passage of the Kansas-Nebraska Act in 1854 allowing the future state to choose whether to be a slave or state, many proslavery settlers came into the Kansas territory. Many of these settlers rushed over the border with Missouri, already a slave state, to influence the decision in Kansas.
With the slavery issue based on popular sovereignty, the territories would become slave or free depending on which side had more votes. Both antislavery Northerners and proslavery Southerners scrambled to settle Kansas. One fierce slavery opponent, John Brown, killed five proslavery people in a raid and started a small civil war that killed some 200 people from both sides.
