What territories did the Kansas Nebraska Act open to slavery?

Answer:  Kansas and Nebraska

Explanation:  

Senator Stephen Douglas proposed the bill that became the Kansas-Nebraska Act as a way of getting southern support for Nebraska  statehood.  Douglas was seeking to bring Nebraska into the Union in order to bring those lands under government authority and lay the groundwork for building a Midwestern route of transcontinental railroad that would run to Chicago and benefit his state (Illinois).  The compromise to gain support from the South was to create two states, Nebraska and Kansas, and allow voters in those areas to choose whether they'd be slave or free. The thought was that Kansas might end up as a slave state and Nebraska as a free state, thus maintaining the balance between free and slave states.

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.  Kansas and Nebraska ended up as free states, but the Kansas-Nebraska Act had allowed the possibility that slavery could become slave states.

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although there are no options attached, we can say the following.

In addition to the destruction of resources, war is used to maintain order in The Party and keep members controlled.

In the futuristic book "1984," written in 1940 by English author George Orwell, the Party exerted total power and control over the citizens of Oceania. All aspects were covered by the Party: politics, the economy, and social life. For this to happen, the Party had first to control the mind of the people through capturing and controlling the emotions and feelings of the citizens.

Which of the following statements is true about the U.S. Senate?
Eddi Din [679]
I believe the answer is:a. <span>Its members have six-year terms, with one-third of the total members up for re-election every two years.

In united states government, 33% of the senate seats would be up for re-election every even years. The number of senates that represent the states are dependent on the number of population within the states.(Small states such as delaware and vermon are only allowed to have 1 senate)

Critically examine the assertions that patriarchy should be blamed for gender inequality in Ghana
tankabanditka [31]

Answer

Yes it affects gender inequality

Explanation:

This is due to the fact that patriarchy is common in Ghana and Africa as a whole and it involves the male gender being generally accepted as the dominant force in all  spheres of life. This is as a result of their traditions and custom beliefs making a provision for that. This makes the female gender answerable to the male gender and the male gender also tends to asserts some authority and power which makes the women vulnerable.
