Answer:  Much violence in Kansas between pro-slavery and anti-slavery advocates.

Context/details:  Senator Stephen Douglas proposed the bill that became the Kansas-Nebraska Act as a way of getting southern support for Nebraska  statehood.  Douglas was seeking to bring Nebraska into the Union in order to bring those lands under government authority and lay the groundwork for building a Midwestern route of transcontinental railroad that would run to Chicago and benefit his state (Illinois).  The compromise to gain support from the South was to create two states, Nebraska and Kansas, and allow voters in those areas to choose whether they'd be slave or free. The thought was that Kansas might end up as a slave state and Nebraska as a free state, thus maintaining the balance between free and slave states.

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, and caused much tension.

What difficult task did Stalin most likely face when he tried to use logos in his speech?
katrin2010 [14]

The correct answer is B) since he felt insecure about educated intellectuals he had to avoid presenting a logical argument.

The difficult task did Stalin most likely face when he tried to use logos in his speech was "since he felt insecure about educated intellectuals he had to avoid presenting a logical argument."

That is why he better used Pathos in his speech, the appeal to the emotions to convince people. He found difficult to use Ethos also because he had to make himself seem trustworthy to his people despite he had starved and tortured many Soviets.

Let's remember what Ethos is. Ethos is the ethical appeal in the discourse. You use Ethos when you want to convince an audience through your reputation, credibility or character.

The other two elements are Pathos, the use of emotions to appeal to an audience, and Logos, the use of logic or reason to appeal to an audience.
