The Compromise of 1850 stated that Kansas could vote whether they are a slave state or a free state. After that people from the North and the South went into Kansas to sway the vote their way. This got a little violent because radicals from both sides were all in the same place. One instance where it got too violent was when an abolitionist John Brown went into a slave town and shot some people. He then got captured by the law and hanged which pleased the South.
