The Kansas-Nebraska Act was created in 1854. It created territories of Kansas and Nebraska, opened new land for settlement and allowed white male settlers in those territories to determine whether slavery would be allowed.

This act requires Kansas an Nebraska to vote on whether or not to allow slavery. Nebraska was strongly anti-slavery so pro-slavery people knew that if a balance of slave and free state was going to be kept, Kansas had to be a slave state. Accordingly, they sent people into Kansas from Missouri to try to influence the election by any means possible. Anti-slavery responded in kind and violence broke out.

It happen because of the slave states and the free states could't decide on the compromise.
