The Kansas-Nebraska Act, passed in 1854, is closely associated with the principles of the Democratic Party at the time, particularly its emphasis on popular sovereignty. This act allowed the settlers of the Kansas and Nebraska territories to decide for themselves whether to allow slavery within their borders.
However, the act also contributed to significant political realignments, most notably leading to the creation of the Republican Party, which formed in opposition to the expansion of slavery into the territories. So while the Kansas-Nebraska Act is rooted in the ideologies of the Democratic Party's proponents of popular sovereignty, it also energized anti-slavery sentiment and helped solidify a new political movement dedicated to opposing slavery's expansion.
