Question

In the mid-1800s, the Kansas and Nebraska territories were located below the Missouri Compromise line. above the Missouri Compromise line. on land that had been part of the Republic of Texas. on land that was part of the Mexican Cession.

Answer 1

The Kansas and Nebraska Act was passed by the U.S. Congress on May 30, 1854. It allowed people in the territories of Kansas and Nebraska to decide for themselves whether or not to allow slavery within their borders. The Act served to repeal the Missouri Compromise of 1820 which prohibited slavery north of latitude 36°30´.

What did the Compromise of 1850 and the Kansas-Nebraska Act have in common? They both insisted on the removal of slavery in the territories. They both wanted to ban slave trade in Washington, D.C. They were both a compromise on the issue of slavery in the territories.

The Kansas and Nebraska Act of 1854 brought territorial government to that portion of the Louisiana Purchase between the Missouri River and the divide of the Rocky Mountains and from 37º north latitude to the boundary of British America at 49º north latitude.

The border ruffians were one group of proslavery Missourians during the period of 1854 until the beginning of the Civil War who used to cross the border into Kansas to vote illegally, make raids, and intimidate the anti-slavery settlers.

Answer 2

Answer:

The Missouri Compromise of 1820, which drew the horizontal line of slavery across the West along the 36° 30' parallel, was repealed by the Act, as both Kansas and Nebraska were north of this line. This reopened the debate over the western expansion of slavery.

Explanation:

• The KANSAS-NEBRASKA ACT OF 1854 was possibly the single most important event that precipitated the Civil War. By the early 1850s, settlers and entrepreneurs wanted to settle in what is now Nebraska. However, settlers would not move there until the area was organised as a territory because they could not legally hold a claim on the land.
• The representatives of the southern states in Congress were hesitant to grant Nebraska territory because it was located north of the 36°30' parallel, where slavery had been prohibited by the Missouri Compromise of 1820. Kansas and Nebraska opened new wounds at a time when relations between the north and south were tense.
• They both demanded that slavery be abolished in the territories. They both wanted the slave trade to be prohibited in Washington, D.C. They were both a workable solution to the issue of slavery in the territories.
• The Kansas and Nebraska Act of 1854 established territorial government in the portion of the Louisiana Purchase between the Missouri River and the Rocky Mountain divide, and from 37o north latitude to British America's border at 49o north latitude.
• Border ruffians were a group of pro-slavery Missourians who crossed the border into Kansas from 1854 until the start of the Civil War to vote illegally, raid, and intimidate anti-slavery settlers.
