Answer from: lola06032003

At the center of Kansas' statehood lie the issue of slavery, the greatest dividing issue between between the northern and southern states at the time. The Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854, which established the Kansas and Nebraska territories and set the stage for future statehood, included a condition that would create great conflict in the state, and contributed to the division that set the Civil War in motion: the people of Kansas would be allowed to vote on the legality of slavery.

This led to many people flooding into Kansas, both opposed to and in favor of slavery, in an attempt to influence the result of the vote on slavery. Great violence ensued in the decade that followed regarding this issue (remember that the Civil War took place from 1861-1865, only 7 years after the Kansas-Nebraska Act.)

The issue of Kansas statehood both contributed to and reflected the intensity of a divisive issue between the north and the south: slavery.

Answer from: Quest

explanation:

not everyone in america is free. it is has always been a unequal society. and yet people come in swarms, in search of better lives. some are brought as children, unaware, unknowing. some arrive and just don’t leave. they build lives, pay taxes, raise families. some enter illegally, fleeing persecution in their home country.

there are many reasons why human beings are so attracted to america, despite its history of bitterness towards immigrants.

there are almost two million immigrants brought to the us when they were children. president donald trump and his collaborators are determined to rid the us of as many undocumented immigrants as they can, and stop others from coming because none of their ancestors were immigrants.

america has so many things and yet it lacks the one thing that humanity needs to fully thrive. and so this country will not be at peace in itself until it resolves the pain at the heart of slavery, attacking immigrants, and crumble the rights of those with less power.
