Who wrote the Kansas-Nebraska Act?

Social Studies
1 answer:
alina1380 [7]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:   Senator Stephen A. Douglas of Illinois and President Franklin Pierce.

Context/details:

The Kansas-Nebraska Act enacted by Congress in 1854. It granted popular sovereignty to the people in the Kansas and Nebraska territories, letting them decide whether they'd allow slavery.  In essence, this made the Kansas-Nebraska act a repeal of the Missouri Compromise of 1820, which had said there would be no slavery north of latitude 36°30´ except for Missouri.

After the passage of the Kansas-Nebraska Act, pro-slavery and anti-slavery settlers rushed into Kansas to try to sway the outcome of the issue, and violence between the two sides occurred.  The term "bleeding Kansas" was used because of the bloodshed.

Over [174]
If a loan has an interest which is compounded monthly, this means that n= 12. The rate will have a monthly interest of 13% per month. Since she is going to pay the loan off in 3 years, this would mean that her monthly payment would be $100 plus the interest per month of 13% which is $468. Therefore, the total monthly payment is $568. Hope this answer helps.
