    Neil Salisbury and Joyce Appleby composed two articles about the era the “New World”. The two articles are closely related and have several similarities, for instance they both talk about how the discovery of the “New World” affected certain people.

    Bleeding America The Kansas-Nebraska Act, a act proposed by "Senator Stephen Douglas, a Democratic Senator from Illinois who introduced the Kansas-Nebraska Act"1 in hopes for the nation to build a transcontinental-railroad, hopefully having the eastern terminus in Chicago, but the railroad needed to be secure as it was going to go through the Kansas and Nebraska territories, preferably as states. Being a personal advocate of popular sovereignty, Stephen A. Douglas disliked the Missouri Compromise of 1820 and believed that the state should decide if it wants to be a free-state or a slave-state.
