Answer: It opened slavery in territories that many had thought would stay free.

Explanation:

The Kansas-Nebraska Act was 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. Kansas and Nebraska ended up as free states, but the Kansas-Nebraska Act had allowed the possibility that slavery could become slave states.

In 1992, the palestinians wanted ________ in gaza and in jericho.

Viktor [21]

The correct answer is Limited Self- Rule.

Palestinians wanted Limited Self- rule in Gaza and Jericho in 1992. Israelis claimed that this region ( Gaza strip) is rightfully theirs according to the Biblical Israel land, on the other hand, the Palestinian wanted to have their own nation as this region lies outside the UN recognized borders. By the Gaza- Jericho agreement Israel promised to withdraw partly from Gaza and Jericho. This agreement, therefore, resulted in the transfer of power from Israel to the Palestinian authority. Yasser Arafat became the first Prime minister of Palestine.
