The Kansas-Nebraska act was introduced January 23, 1854. The purpose of the bill was to divide the two territories in half and ultimately repeal the Missouri compromise. Just as the Virginia debate the debates over the acts were dirty and intense. The north believed this was just a plot from the south to turn both territories to slave states. Steven Douglas was ridiculed in the north for disobeying the Missouri compromise. "1854 - Kansas/Nebraska Act Passed." //Savages & Scoundrels //. Paul VanDevelder. Web. 17 Sept. 2015. .
