on. . .both supporters and opponents attempted to populate Kansas to win the vote over slavery
• As the election neared, a group of pro-slavery “border ruffians” from Missouri attempted to cross into Kansas

neighbors while they slept in their beds• Known as the Pottawatomie Massacre after creek
where victims bodies were found• Civil war broke out in Kansas for 3 more years
John Brown believed that God commanded him to rid slavery from the United States. After leading raids in Kansas with 5 of his sons, he moved to Virginia to plan an attack that would free all the slaves. Brown was wounded and captured and later hanged for treason on December 2, 1859, for his role in trying to capture the American fort at Harpers Ferry
