speeches given by citizens and politicians, the Compromise of 1850, and the Dred Scott Decision are largely considered to be the main causes of the Civil War. However one might argue that the Kansas-Nebraska act (and “Bleeding Kansas”) was the main cause.

Later, however, the bill was separated, and each component passed through. Known as the Compromise of 1850, topics such as slave sales in the District of Columbia and the acceptance of California…
