It aroused several controversial events, including the famous John Brown's Pottawatomie Massacre as well as the brutal conflicts between the Topeka "free staters" and the established pro-slavery legislation. The aftereffects of the Kansas-Nebraska act contributed to the Civil War and the emergence of northern and southern suspicions. The
