The Kansas-Nebraska Act has been called the most significant law ever enacted by the Congress of the United States. It was called the most significant law ever enacted because it allowed people in the territories of Kansas and Nebraska to decide for themselves whether or not to allow slavery within their borders.

It was the bloodiest single day fight in American history, with more than 23,000 setbacks. The Union triumph there prompted the Emancipation Proclamation. Gettysburg and Vicksburg i had major impacts such that Gettysburg was a union that stopped Robert Lee in the North and Vicksburg gave the union army control over the Mississippi River. The political effect of Sherman’s capture in Atlanta was politically important as it convinced many people in the North that the war would soon end, and in fact aided in the re-election of Abraham Lincoln. Up to that point, Lincoln 's re-election had been questionable. This effected the outcome of the war because the Emancipation Proclamation discouraged the British and French governments from potential plans for recognition of the Confederacy.

Court’s majority decided that because Scott was black, he was not a citizen and therefore had no right to sue. The framers of the Constitution, believed that blacks had no rights which the white man was bound to respect; and that the negro might justly and lawfully be reduced to slavery for his benefit. He was bought and sold and treated as an ordinary article of merchandise and traffic,
