The Kansas–Nebraska Act of 1854 was an organic act that created the territories of Kansas and Nebraska. It was drafted by Democratic Senator Stephen A. Douglas, passed by the 33rd United States Congress, and signed into law by President Franklin Pierce. Douglas introduced the bill with the goal of opening up new lands to development and facilitating construction of a transcontinental railroad, but the Kansas–Nebraska Act is most notable for effectively repealing the Missouri Compromise, stoking national tensions over slavery, and contributing to a series of armed conflicts known as "Bleeding Kansas".
The United States had acquired vast amounts of sparsely-settled land in the 1803 Louisiana Purchase, and since the 1840s Douglas had sought to establish a territorial government in a portion of the Louisiana Purchase that was still unorganized. Douglas's efforts were stymied by Senator David Rice Atchison and other Southern leaders who refused to allow the creation of territories that banned slavery; slavery would have been banned because the Missouri Compromise outlawed slavery in territory north of latitude 36°30' north. To win the support of Southerners like Atchison, Pierce and Douglas agreed to back the repeal of the Missouri Compromise, with the status of slavery instead decided on the basis of "popular sovereignty." Under popular sovereignty, the citizens of each territory, rather than Congress, would determine whether or not slavery would be allowed.

The Americans broke the Japanese code for the battle and figured out their plans and used this to inflict a heavy loss on the Japanese by sinking 4 of their aircraft carriers. The Japanese Navy never recovered from this and for the rest of the war, they were on the defensive.
Answer:
Explanation:
The leading causes of the great migration were racial segregation and very poor economic conditions. The people who escaped that had to look elsewhere for a better economic base and a more tolerant society than in the south where Jim Crow laws were upheld. It is hard to say which push factor was stronger in this case because the terror was combined with very poor living conditions and the whole situation of black folks in the south was very bad.
