How did the kansas nebraska act propose to deal with the issue of slavery?
It didn’t do anything to directly affect the slavery issue, although Pro-slavery forces found it to be a pseudo-victory. It repealed the Missouri compromise, which disallowed slavery in States north of 36 deg 30′ and allowed slavery to be an issue of popular sovereignty to be voted on by referendum. This created tensions between pro- and anti- slavery factions in Kansas during that state’s constitution writing, leading to Bleeding Kansas and the opposing Lecompton and Topeka Constitutions.
