What was the result of “Bleeding Kansas”?
Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

<h2>Popular sovereignty was an unworkable solution for the territories of Kansas and Nebraska.</h2>

Explanation:

The Kansas-Nebraska Act 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 that occurred in this situation.  The move to make slavery a popular sovereignty matter proved to be unworkable and hurtful.

Help! Why did colonists oppose the Stamp Act?
Lera25 [3.4K]
Because it Putnam tax on everything that required paper, including marriage licenses, business papers, stamps, blank paper, and literally anything else you could think of with paper. They found it excessive and an obnoxious insult from the Mother Country that originally kind of left them alone for so long.
