In 1854, the Kansas-Nebraska Act was passed. This law allowed both of these territories to become states. However, before officially becoming a state, the federal government gave them the option to vote on whether Kansas/Nebraska would be a free or slave state. This is what causes "Bleeding Kansas."
Thousands of individuals vote, with the initial results showing that Kansas would be a slave state. However, individuals against slavery, cried foul as citizens from Missouri (a slave state) came over the border and illegally voted in the election. The people who did not want slavery refused to settle on this issue and violence broke out all over Kansas. This fighting between people who did and did not want slavery caused extreme violence and death. This is why it is called "Bleeding Kansas."

The Paleoindians were the first groups of populations who inhabited the American continent as a result of the events of the glacial period between 45,000 and 12,000 BCE. This period created a glacial "bridge" between what is now Russia and Alaska. This made it possible for people from that age to cross all the way to the American Continent.
The arrival of the Archaic Period saw the continent experience more mild weather. This made it possible for people to settle within a certain geographic latitude, as it was no longer necessary to migrate in search for warmer weather due to the harsh weather conditions of the glacial period. It also meant that vast extensions of terrain would now be available for crop cultivation, which would be used as a source of food for these people.
