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.
