Kansas and Nebraska

Question 8 • LPS US History I (CR) - MP2

What is Lincoln’s biggest complaint about the Kansas-Nebraska Act?

Answer
A
It would likely result in the spread of slavery into Nebraska.
B
It overturned a compromise, and people might not trust compromises made in the future.
C
It would result in the election of a new House of Representatives.

Explanation

Lincoln’s central complaint was that the Kansas-Nebraska Act repealed the Missouri Compromise’s restriction on slavery in territory where it had previously been prohibited. He argued that breaking this settled agreement would undermine trust in future compromises. Therefore, the best answer is that it overturned a compromise and could make people distrust future compromises.
