:‘Popular Sovereignty’ was the idea that every new territory should decide for themselves whether they’d be free or slave.  Although it was meant for peace, it led to more disputes and bloodshed.  It also led to a civil war within Kansas because citizens who were for slavery hated those who were against it and vice versa.  ‘Bleeding Kansas’ refers to all the blood that was shed during this time.  (Danielle R.)

Nearly each individual had their own opinion and was ready defend that opinion. The American population was almost evenly split over the slavery issue - a country cannot survive divided, because if a country is divided, they are weak and susceptible to war from other stronger countries.

The Civil War lasted 4 years; but its monumental impact on America lasts even today. (Bethany S.)
