In 1854, the Kansas-Nebraska Act was passed. This law allowed both of these territories to become states. However, before officially becoming a state, the federal government gave them the option to vote on whether Kansas/Nebraska would be a free or slave state. This is what causes "Bleeding Kansas."
Thousands of individuals vote, with the initial results showing that Kansas would be a slave state. However, individuals against slavery, cried foul as citizens from Missouri (a slave state) came over the border and illegally voted in the election. The people who did not want slavery refused to settle on this issue and violence broke out all over Kansas. This fighting between people who did and did not want slavery caused extreme violence and death. This is why it is called "Bleeding Kansas."

In my opinion, the most important similarity between these two men is that they are both democrats. They both believe in the common people rather than in elites.
Jefferson was the leader of the Democratic-Republicans. This was the party that wanted more power for the common people. They wanted there to be less hierarchy in American society. They wanted America to be dominated by small farmers.
Jackson also favored the common people. He wanted to do things like destroying the Bank of the United States because he felt that it favored the rich over the common people.
