People who were for and against slavery flooded the Kansas Territory People who were for and against slavery flooded the Kansas Territory. After the vote was finalized Kansas voted to be a slave state, but the north argued that many people who voted for slavery did not live in Kansas but crossed the border from Missouri.

Violence broke out within the Kansas Territory Violence broke out within the Kansas Territory. Due to all the violence the territory became known as “Bleeding Kansas.”

In 1861 Kansas was admitted to the Union as a free state.

The Presidents James Buchanan Franklin Pierce Both from the North, but supported slavery.

Franklin Pierce Allowed himself to be pushed around by other politicians, such as Stephen Douglas, and supported the Kansas Nebraska Act. Douglass supported democracy while Pierce supported slavery.

James Buchanan Wanted to keep peace between the North and South, but failed. He supported the pro-slavery constitution in Kansas because he was very pro-south.
