Answer:

The Kansas-Nebraska Act neutralized the Missouri Compromise. The Missouri compromise was responsible for slave-free accommodation.

Senator Stephen Douglas convinced Congress to permit the white males in an area to have the right to vote for slave or to be free from them. The people who voted in favor of slaves moved into areas that were free from slavery under the Missouri Compromise. The Settlers from the North settled in the Kansas Territory and were not interested in slave labor.

Although they were not abolitionists but they didn’t want any form of competition for land from slave holders who paid nothing to the slaves. All they wanted was a country with only whites and without black people or slavery.

By the 1960s, a generation of white Americans raised in prosperity and steeped in the culture of conformity of the 1950s had come of age. However, many of these baby boomers (those born between 1946 and 1964) rejected the conformity and luxuries that their parents had provided. These young, middle-class Americans, especially those fortunate enough to attend college when many of their working-class and African American contemporaries were being sent to Vietnam, began to organize to fight for their own rights and end the war that was claiming the lives of so many.

By 1960, about one-third of the U.S. population was living in the suburbs; during the 1960s, the average family income rose by 33 percent. Material culture blossomed, and at the end of the decade, 70 percent of American families owned washing machines, 83 percent had refrigerators or freezers, and almost 80 percent had at least one car. Entertainment occupied a larger part of both working- and middle-class leisure hours. By 1960, American consumers were spending $85 billion a year on entertainment, double the spending of the preceding decade; by 1969, about 79 percent of American households had black-and-white televisions, and 31 percent could afford color sets. Movies and sports were regular aspects of the weekly routine, and the family vacation became an annual custom for both the middle and working class.
