Description
1856 1ed Congress Report on KANSAS SLAVERY Civil War Nebraska Election Fraud



In March of 1855, one of the United States most notorious voter fraud schemes took place, furthering the divide between pro- and antislavery lobbyists. The Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854 caused trickledown effects of violence in Kansas over whether Kansas should enter the Union as pro- or antislavery. These events, along with repeals of the Missouri Compromise became a significant influence in the Civil War.



The United States Congress held special committee meetings to investigate the happenings in the Kansas elections and slavery debates. The debates and discussions as well as decisions made were published in an official report in 1856, published in Washington by Cornelius Wendell.
