Why did douglas's "popular sovereignty" approach to the slavery question prove to be unworkable in kansas and elsewhere?

History

Answer:  It led to unrest and violence between pro-slavery and anti-slavery groups.

Context/details:

The Kansas-Nebraska Act 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.

What was the effect of the supreme court's decision referred to as "brown ii"?
Jobisdone [24]
The Supreme Court case of Brown vs Board II results in the Supreme Court demanding that all schools desegregate "with all deliberate speed."

During the first Brown v. Board case, the Supreme Court ruled that the "separate but equal" (established in Plessy vs. Ferguson) was illegal. The court argued that separate can never be equal and that this includes in America's public schools.

However, many all white schools refused to follow this law. This resulted in the Supreme Court having to establish that this needed to be done with "all deliberate speed." Since this terminology is vague, several white schools take several years to integrate schools. This results in more hostility between whites and African-Americans throughout the US.
