At the time, passions and tempers were high, and everyone cared very much about the issue of slavery. The state was having a vote, whether to be a free or slave state. Those who supported slavery realized that there were more abolitionists than not in the state and that it would soon become a free state. Many slave supporters crossed the border from Missouri(a slave state) to vote. When abolitionists discovered that they were trying to rig the elections, they got angry. Little fights started, and more people joined in, and more and more, and eventually everyone was fighting.

Unfortunately, Kansas became a miniature civil war as pro and anti slavery people clashed violently over the issue of voting on slavery as per the 1854 Kansas Nebraska Act. Created to solve the US slavery issue, Senator Stephen A. Douglas had a bill passed to give voters in territories the right to vote on slavery before they applied for statehood. This was coined "popular sovereignty". may people were killed over the issue.
