Did replacing the compromise of 1850 with the Kansas Nebraska Act trigger the cascade of events that lead to secession an war. Is it possible that the act created a political situation that normal politics could not resolve thus making trial by combat unavoidable. When south Carolina saw the failure to admit Kansas as a slave state did they conclude the K-N Act coupled with election of Lincoln would result in a free west.
