Kansas-Nebraska Act

Three historical maps of the United States show how the extension of slavery into new territories changed with major compromises: the Missouri Compromise of 1820, the Compromise of 1850, and the Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854. Each map uses color coding to indicate areas where slavery was prohibited, permitted, or left to territorial decision, highlighting shifting boundaries and key states or territories affected by each law.
