Bloody Kansas. Federal troops were sent there to protect the lives of slave holders from anti-slavery vigilante groups several years before the Civil War started.
"Bleeding Kansas" is the nickname given to the territory where pro-slavery and anti-slavery settlers clashed in violent confrontations over the issue of slavery in the mid-1850s.
The violence in Kansas in 1855 was primarily caused by the intense debate over whether Kansas should enter the Union as a free state or a slave state. Pro-slavery and anti-slavery settlers clashed over control of the territory, leading to acts of violence and bloodshed. This period, known as "Bleeding Kansas," foreshadowed the larger conflict that would erupt into the American Civil War.
Domestic violence is generally violence between related people, or between people living in a family-type ralationship. Generally, if the two people involved in the violence are related by: marriage, living together, have children in common, parent-child relationship, etc, the the violence is classified as domestic violence.
Pro-slavery groups that went to Kansas to try to keep slavery legal there were called Border Ruffians. They were made up of pro-slavery activists from neighboring states who crossed into Kansas to influence the antislavery vote. These groups were responsible for the violence and intimidation tactics used during the period known as "Bleeding Kansas."
Widespread violence erupted in Kansas over slavery in the mid-1850s due to the Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854, which allowed settlers to decide through popular sovereignty whether slavery would be allowed in the territory. Pro-slavery and anti-slavery settlers clashed as they tried to influence the outcome, leading to a series of violent conflicts known as "Bleeding Kansas".
