:‘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.)
