How did the kansas-nebraska act cause more violence?

History

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.

What inspired William Kamkwamba to build a windmill?
djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

William Kamkwamba was Malawi, a country born in where magic ruled and modern science was mystery. It was also a land withered by drought and hunger, and a place where hope and opportunity were hard to find. But William had read about windmills in a book called Using Energy, and he dreamed of building one that would bring electricity and water to his village and change his life and the lives of those around him.

William had a goal to study science in Malawi's top boarding schools. But in 2002, his country was stricken with a famine that left his family's farm devastated and his parents destitute. Unable to pay the eighty-dollar-a-year tuition for his education, William was forced to drop out and help his family forage for food as thousands across the country starved and died.

Yet William refused to let go of his dreams. Using scrap metal, tractor parts, and bicycle halves, William forged a crude yet operable windmill.
