Northerners opposed the actbecause they thought it was a plan to turn this land into slave states. Both groups wanted people to live in Kansas so that they could cast their votes when the time came.

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.

The graph shows choice of party affiliation. Based on this graph, which percentage of poll respondents were Democrats in Novembe

Kruka [31]

Answer: 35%

Further detail: You didn't show us the graph, so I'll attach a graph from the Pew Research Center that shows party identification numbers from 1992 to 2012. In 2012, the data points were as follows:

Identifying as Democrat: 35%
Identifying as Republican: 28%
Identifying as independent: 33%

In the graph image I've attached, the second graph shows the percentages favoring Democrat or Republican when including which direction the independent voters said they leaned. In 2012, the percentage of voters identifying as Democrat plus those independents leaning Democrat was 48%, and the percentage identifying as Republican or leaning Republican was 43%.

You'll notice that the gap between those favoring Democrat vs. those favoring Republican narrowed between 2008 and 2012. That meant President Obama's reelection victory in 2012 was a closer race than it had been when he was first elected in 2008. He won the Electoral College vote 365 to 173 in 2008, and his Electoral College margin in 2012 was 332 to 206.

How did the passage of the GI bill change american cities and towns

Nostrana [21]

One of the main ways in which the passage of the GI bill changed American cities and towns is that it helped reduce income inequality--since it provided for the free college education of veterans returning from war--many of whom would have had to take lower-paying jobs without being able to utilize the GI bill.
