Bleeding Kansas was about political confrontations mostly about people against slavery. The war started between the years 1854 - 1861. Not only did the war take place in Kansas it also took place in towns in Missouri. There were two groups, William Quantrill and the group "Border Ruffians" from Missouri and John Brown and the group "Beecher's Bibles" from Kansas.

1. William Quantrill and his group "Border Ruffians from Missouri considered the group "Beecher's Bibles" as "The West" because at that time Kansas was new land purchased by America. The Border Ruffians wanted their beliefs on why slavery should still be in use, to be spread to "The West" or the "Beecher's Bibles."

2. The "Border Ruffians" had conflict with the "Beecher's Bibles." The "Border Ruffians" has conflict with the "Beecher's Bibles" because the "Border Ruffians" wanted to spread their beliefs, so that the way they lived their lives would not be changed. But the "Beecher's Bibles wanted to change the nation.

3. On 1854, May 30, President Franklin Pierce signs the Kansas-Nebraska act leaving the legality of slavery to the will of the people in Kansas Territory. On 1855,October 23,Free-state delegates meet in Topeka to draft the first Kansas state constitution, which prohibits slavery in the Kansas Territory. On 1859, in July,the legislature writes the last of four state constitutions, which allows Kansas to enter the union as a free state. On 1861, Kansas admitted to the union as a free state and on April 12, the Civil War begins.
