The act that created Nebraska and Kansas also, in effect, abolished the Missouri Compromise, which had prohibited slavery in the region since 1820. This bow to local control outraged the nation and led to vicious confrontations, including Kansas's subsequent mini-civil war. The essays in this volume shift the focus from the violent and influential reaction of "Bleeding Kansas" to the role that Nebraska played in this decisive moment. 410 0$aLaw in the American West 606 $aLaw$zNebraska$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aLaw$zKansas$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aSovereignty$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aSlavery$xPolitical aspects$zUnited States$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aPolitical culture$zUnited States$vCase studies 607 $aNebraska$xHistory$y19th century 607 $aKansas$xHistory$y1854-1861 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aLaw$xHistory 615 0$aLaw$xHistory 615 0$aSovereignty$xHistory 615 0$aSlavery$xPolitical aspects$xHistory 615 0$aPolitical culture 676 $a978.2/01 702 $aWunder$b John R. 702 $aRoss$b Joann M. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910451575903321 996 $aThe Nebraska-Kansas Act of 1854$92484020 997 $aUNINA
