Read the following documents and highlight five passages you think are important Kansas Nebraska Act In 1854, Congress passed the Kansas-Nebraska Act, which organized the remaining territory acquired in the Louisiana Purchase so that such territories could be admitted to the Union as states. Probably the most important result of the Kansas-Nebraska Act was its language concerning the contentious issue of slavery. Proposed by Stephen A. Douglas, and signed by president Franklin Pierce, the bill divided the region into two territories. Territory north of the 40th parallel was called Nebraska Territory, and territory south of the 40th parallel was called Kansas Territory. The most controversial aspect of the Kansas-Nebraska Act was that each territory would decide for itself whether or not to permit slavery. This stipulation repealed the Missouri Compromise of 1820 which stated that slavery was prohibited north of 36° 30′.

Colorado Territory was made up from four large different territories and established by act of congress on February 28, 1861. The map outlines the four regions that became the Colorado Territory later admitted to the Union as a state on August 1, 1876. Kansas Territory Nebraska Territory New Mexico Territory Utah Territory Colton Map - 1859 Courtesy of Richard C. Frajola The vast area acquired at the time of the Louisiana Purchase in 1803 was known as the Unorganized Territory. It was later divided into Kansas, Missouri and Nebraska territories. A major gold discovery in the western mountain region of Kansas in 1858-59 lead to a large migration in search of the precious metal. The four earliest settlements in the western Kansas Territory were Auraria, Denver City, Montana City and St. Charles. In a short time Denver City grew to be the larger trading area absorbing the other towns. The earliest large gold discoveries were surface placer deposits found in late 1858 through 1859 located in Clear Creek and Gilpin County. The towns of Black Hawk, Idaho, and Mountain City were quickly developed as a mining centers. The area offered much gold to eager miners. Two other major discoveries one in Boulder City district in the Nebraska Territory a short distance northwest of Denver City. The second further west over the Continental Divide in the Utah Territory on the Blue River, where the town Breckinridge was built.
