How did the kansas-nebraska act cause more violence?

History
1 answer:
anyanavicka [17]3 years ago

Answer:

Deciding whether a territory would allow slavery or not based on a vote of the people in the territories led to slavery supporters and abolitionists both rushing to the region in order to vote on the issue.  This led to an outbreak of violence between the settlers.

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.

Which of the following military strategies allowed the Union to gain control of Vicksburg?
Kruka [31]

The correct answer is siege.

Gaining control of Vicksburg was essential to the Union's military strategy. Taking control of Vicksburg would allow the Union army to control the Mississippi River. The Mississippi River was the lifeline for the Confederacy, as this waterway allowed them to easily send goods and troops to different parts of the US. Controlling the river would help the Union to stop the Confederacy from being able to transport goods. Along with this, it would also cut off Confederate states (like Texas) from other Confederate states located along the Atlantic Ocean.
