This act became problematic when popular sovereignty was written into the proposal so that votes of the moment would decide whether Slavery would be allowed. The result was that pro-anti Slavery elemets flooded into Kansas with the goal of voting Slavery up or down, this leading to a bloody Civl War.
Senator Douglas hoped popular soverignty would enable democracy to triumph so he would not have to take a side on Slavery. A wave of indignation eurpted across the North, opponents denounced the law as a trumph for Slave power, and the rich Slaveowner. The new Repulican Party was created to oppose the Act.

The Kansas Nebraska Act.
This act is so big and so important to American history that what it did sent the country right into Civil War. Well here we go.
In January 1854 US Senator Stephen A Douglas from Illinois introduced a bill in the US Senate, called the Kansas Nebraska Act, this Bill passed both houses in May 1854 and signed into law by President Franklin Pierce.

Happy New Year.
January 1st 2013.
Wow we have made another year. I hope you enter 2013 with strong mind and strong body. For me Iam so happy I have made it to 2013, because just my being here is pure luck. In November 1998 I passed out with a BloodPreessure of 250.
But with Gods grace I survived, and Iam here today.
In 2013 I would hope that all White Supremacy minded Americans will change there ways, but Iam not hopeful of that. However I would ask you to consider several things going forward. Your children and grand children will grow up in alot different world than you did. Also your base is getting smaller. Look around the demographics in America is changing.
January has a special meaning for me. Today is my Fathers Birthay, and American Vet who wore the Uniform. A Black Man who never got the respect he deserved. Happy Bithday to my Dad. 1/1/1917 -1/7/1997.

Iam now up to January 1854. I would think that Slaveholders brought in the new year January 1854, just like they have every other New years, with plenty of food and drank, and good fun and music. Provided by there Slaves Iam sure they felt on January 1st 1854 that life was good. But starting this January there world was fixing to start to turn upside down.
For the millions of enslaved in America 1854 freedom was to began rolling there way .
Happy New Year.
God Bless America.
