What was the result of “bleeding kansas”?

Bleeding Kansas was a demonstrative of the gravity of the era's most pressing social issues, from the matter of slavery to the class conflicts emerging on the American frontier, to state rights. Its severity made national headlines which suggested to the American people that the sectional disputes were unlikely to reach compromise without bloodshed , and it therefore directly led up to the American Civil War, which saw more conflict and bloodshed  come to the region

"Bleeding Kansas" was an event that helped lead America into the Civil War.

Further Explanation:

Bleeding Kansas was a direct result of the Kansas-Nebraska Act. The goal of this law was to allow for Kansas and Nebraska to become states. However, the issue of whether or not slavery would exist in these territories was yet to be decided by Congress. Instead of Congress deciding for the citizens, Congress allowed the citizens of each territory to vote on whether or not the institution of slavery would exist in their state. The idea of letting citizens vote on laws like this is known as popular sovereignty.

This was arguably one of the biggest mistakes ever made by Congress, as the result of the Kansas-Nebraska Act include voter fraud/corruption and "Bleeding Kansas." The term "Bleeding Kansas" refers to the physical violence and death that took place between citizens in favor of slavery and citizens against the institution of slavery in Kansas. Entire towns were destroyed and their were several deaths related to the fighting that took place between the aforementioned groups.
