Answer: The act spurred more people to join the movement, making it stronger.
Explanation:
Up until the Kansas - Nebraska Act the western territories of the United States did not have a set policy on slavery and Northern abolitionists were fine this because they hoped to abolish slavery there and then in future, have the necessary influence to abolish it nationwide. 
The act therefore galvanised support for the movement and made it stronger as abolitionists were worried that if slavery should spread into the west, it would make it that much harder to abolish. 
 
        
                    
             
        
        
        
QUICK ANSWER
The main concern of the United States and the other western powers during the Cold War was that the Soviet Union would obtain control of the Western European countries through either invasions or by communist takeovers of unstable governments. Neither side was ever directly engaged in a full-scale armed combat, and the doctrine of mutually assured destruction, or MAD, prevented either faction from using their heavily armed nuclear arsenals. Psychological war, propaganda, proxy wars and espionage were the primary means of each side's struggle for dominance in post-World War II Europe.
