| In 1854, the Congress passed the Kansas-Nebraska Act, which allowed settlers in those states to vote on the slavery question. As a result, Kansas and Nebraska became the sites of violent clashes between antislavery and proslavery groups. American painter John Steuart Curry’s mural, Tragic Prelude, depicts abolitionist John Brown during the “Bleeding Kansas” decade of the 1850s. | ||||||
