Free African American communities during the antebellum period showed the rest of Americans that African Americans could perfectly be as prosperous, self-reliant and educated as white Americans. They provided a showcase of what educated African Americans could accomplish and demonstrated that if they were given the same means and opportunities that white Americans enjoyed, they could perfectly enjoy the same level of prosperity of educated white Americans. The emergence of an active and extremely articulate black leadership showed the rest of Americans that the only thing that separated free, educated African Americans in the 19th from their white counterparts was the color of skin. Furthermore, not only intelligent African American leaders who were born free achieved a great level of education and influence, some of the leaders of the black community had been born into slavery and after escaping had managed to educate themselves and even surpass several white Americans in terms of intellectual accomplishments. Frederick Douglass is an excellent example of this. Despite being born into slavery and remaining in this condition until the age of 16, he secretly educated himself and escaped to become one of the most powerful and eloquent orator of the abolitionist movement.
The Kansas-Nebraska act was a long debate to decide if Kansas and Nebraska should be slave states or not. Throughout these debates there were many votings between the southern and northern states. Eventually Kansas was yeeted and wasn't a state anymore. Then after a while Kansas became a state. It was a very confusing time but, that's the best summary I could come up with. Hope that helps you and if you have any other questions just ask me. I'll try my best to help.

Probably the ocean, seems interesting.
<span>The Manifest Destiny’s theoretical foundations behind the
conception date back to the first Puritan colonists, such as John Winthrop, and
his group’s clear desire to build a Shining City on a Hill or a new Jerusalem.
The concept that America and its Puritan creators had an ethical right and responsibility
to originate a purer, better world informed the idea of what came to be known
as “American Exceptionalism,” which is certainly an extension of Manifest
Destiny. Both terms indicate that by its very nature, and because of its establishment
and ideals, the United States has an ethical purpose to rule the western
hemisphere and to plan its supremacy, power, and values transversely the
continent, by force if required.</span>
