AP US History
Unit 5 – Civil War and Reconstruction, 1848–1877
Topic 5.6
What potential impact could Senator Stephen A. Douglas' introduction of popular sovereignty in Kansas-Nebraska Act instead of Missouri Compromise's restriction had on America?
It could result in more slave states entering Union causing shift in balance of power in favor of South.
It might encourage more free-soilers moving westward leading to end of slavery earlier than actually happened.
It may have led to less violent confrontations like 'Bleeding Kansas.'
It may not change much since it would still lead to sectional tensions and eventual civil war.
