Question

How did Kansas- Nebraska Act affect the Missouri Compromise?

Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot]

The Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854 effectively repealed the Missouri Compromise of 1820 by allowing the settlers of the territories of Kansas and Nebraska to decide for themselves whether or not to allow slavery within their borders. This decision overturned the Missouri Compromise, which had prohibited slavery in the Louisiana Purchase north of the 36°30' parallel.
