Explanation:
The Kansas Nebraska act was passed on May 30, 1854 to create the territory of Kansas and Nebraska.

This act was also used to revoke the Missouri compromise of 1820 which had banned the slavery nor of the 36.30 Latitude. while the Northern states were against slavery upheld the Missouri compromise as a valid long term agreement but the southern states wanted to continue with the slavery and supported Kansas-Nebraska act.
