Bleeding Kansas refers to C) atrocities committed by both factions.

In the mid 19th century, the United States was increasingly being torn into the factions of those who supported slavery and those who did not.

This presented a problem when new states were to be created because they could either be created as slave states or free states.

When Kansas was about to be made a state, violence erupted there between the pro-slavery faction and the anti-slavery faction because:

  • Congress gave Kansas the power to decide which type of state it would be by means of a vote
  • Pro and anti slavery campaigners went to the state to try to influence the vote.
  • They engaged in violent conflict with each other
  • Blood was therefore spilled on Kansas blood and led to the term "bleeding Kansas" being coined.

In conclusion, Bleeding Kansas referred to atrocities committed by both factions.
