During this time, there were a large amount of supporters that were for permanent Indian country west of the Missouri River. These supporters had objected vigorously to the passage of the Kansas-Nebraska Act for the land set aside for the Indians. Tribes along the Missouri River would be known as eastern Nebraska.

Creating the North Platte Canteen in Nebraska was not a well thought out idea, but came about as a result of misinformation on the part of North Platte locals who had hoped to see the Nebraska National Guard but instead met the Kansas National Guard (12). In 1941, The Union Pacific railroad depot located along Front Street became the North Platte Canteen that welcomed troops departing the United States for the World War (5). Relatives of the Nebraska National Guard’s Company heard the news that…

On May 30, 1854, Illinois Senator Stephen Douglas presented the Kansas-Nebraska Act that had a devastating impact on the Democratic Party and the stability of the Union. The bill aimed to organize the territory of Nebraska, which was the area North of Missouri where slavery was prohibited according to the terms of Missouri Compromise of 1820. The Westward expansion of the nation continually threatened the shaky balance of power between pro-slavery states and free states. Congress had to make…

particular, caused great damage to the old "party system." Before the Kansas-Nebraska Act passed they also prompted a political realignment. Anbinder argues that the Know Nothing Party, as portrayed by Gienapp, contains a poor representation. The anti-slavery actions in the north attributed to the success of the Know Nothing party.

War was the fight over whether land was to be slave or slave free land. I think this because every event leading up to the Civil War was about and land. The four main events I’ll be using will be the following: The Missouri Compromise, the Kansas-Nebraska Act, The Wilmot Proviso and Mexican-American War, and California’s petition for statehood. First off the Missouri Compromise, thought to be a good thing seeing how it evenly divided Missouri and Louisiana into a slave and non-slave state.…

People today hear a great deal about it in the news with war veterans, although, this disorder does not affect war veterans alone.

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, unfortunately, is the inevitable result from experiencing traumas ranging from war violence to…

congress also prohibited territory within the Louisiana Purchase slavery. Thus, Nebraska could not practice slavery. In an effort to save his political party, however, Stephen A. Douglas, put forth a bill directly repealing the Missouri Comprise by granting popular sovereignty. The Kansas-Nebraska act infuriated northern senators. However, congress passed the Kansa-Nebraska Act, dividing the land into two sections: Nebraska, a free state, and Kansas, a slave state. Such created serious divides…

tension was beginning to build between the north and south over the issue of slavery. Three major compromises helped contribute to these tensions and lead to eventual war. These are the Missouri Compromise, the Compromise of 1850, and the Kansas-Nebraska Act. These compromises and their effects had major consequences that shaped the nation of their time. In 1820, Congress passed the Missouri Compromise. This compromise agreed to admit Missouri as a slave state and then admit Maine as a free…

It was devised as a compromise over slavery in 1854, as the nation was beginning to be torn apart in the decade before the Civil War. In 1854 the Kansas-Nebraska Act created territories for both Kansas and Nebraska. This gave a chance for people to move slavery to the Midwest.
