actions. although i cannot tell you how to feel about what he did, the context is important in case you encounter any john brown or bleeding kansas questions on the apush exam.<\/p>\n<h2>what is an example bleeding kansas apush question?<\/h2>\n<p>although the apush exam may not ask about bleeding kansas specifically, it likely will ask about tensions leading up to the civil war. be sure to put bleeding kansas into the larger picture of events that led to the civil war.<\/p>\n<p>the missouri compromise, compromise of 1850, wilmot proviso, and the kansas-nebraska act were all intended to do what?<br \/>\na. resolve the issue of slavery in newly acquired us territories<br \/>\nb. determine the number of senators new slave states may send to congress<br \/>\nc. forbid the expansion of slavery into newly acquired territories<br \/>\nd. make sure that citizens of new states could decide whether or not to allow slavery by popular sovereignty<\/p>\n<h4>answer:<\/h4>\n<p>the correct answer to this bleeding kansas apush question is <strong>a<\/strong>. you may be asked to compare various aspects of the road to the civil war, including the legislation meant to stop a civil war from happening. all of these compromises were meant to resolve the issue of slavery in the ever-expanding us, some by popular sovereignty and some by federal directives.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>this bleeding kansas apush review will detail the events that led to bleeding kansas, and the implications it had on the impending
