The Kansas-Nebraska Act influenced enslavement primarily in this way:
**It removed the Missouri Compromise, allowing states to decide for themselves whether they could enslave people.**
This act, passed in 1854, effectively repealed the Missouri Compromise, which had established a boundary for the expansion of slavery. By allowing popular sovereignty in the territories of Kansas and Nebraska, it enabled the settlers in those territories to determine whether they would allow slavery, leading to significant conflict and violence, known as "Bleeding Kansas."
