With nervousness
Explanation:
The passage of the Kansas-Nebraska Act was an act in which the people that lived in the states of Nebraska and Kansas were to vote on whether or not they would become a slave state or a free state. Nebraska was mainly anti-slavery and was seen and voting for free statehood anyway so the main focus was on Kansas. People from the North and South both temporarily moved into Kansas so that they could vote and try and get Kansas to go into their favor. Overall more pro-slavery forces voted and Kansas became a slave state. Fighting happened before, during, and after the vote and this is referred to as "Bleeding Kansas."
