Accepted Answer

# Brief Explanations:
1. Under the Kansas - Nebraska Act, the future of slavery was to be decided by popular sovereignty (settlers in the territories would vote on whether their state would be slave or free).
2. In 1854, the territories of Kansas and Nebraska petitioned to become states. Congress passed the Kansas - Nebraska Act. This was an extension of the Compromise of 1850 and applied popular sovereignty to new territories. Under the Missouri Compromise of 1820, slavery was restricted in certain areas.
3. In 1854, Congress passed the Kansas - Nebraska Act. It repealed the Missouri Compromise of 1820. Repeal means to revoke or annul a law. The Act allowed settlers in Kansas and Nebraska territories the right to decide if their state would be slave or free through popular sovereignty (rule by the people). Slavery - supporters argued that the rights of individual states and territories should decide slavery, not the federal government.
For the questions about the political cartoon: Analyze visual elements like symbols, imagery, and text in the cartoon to determine if it's pro - slavery or anti - slavery. Southern states/pro - slavery supporters likely reacted negatively to the Kansas - Nebraska Act as it could lead to more free states, disrupting the balance of power in Congress.
Dred Scott was an enslaved African - American man. He claimed to be a free man because he had lived in free states and territories where slavery was prohibited under certain laws.
