“Kansas-Nebraska Act” as a book category covers works focused on the 1854 federal law and its wide-ranging political, social, and legal consequences: the repeal of the Missouri Compromise, the doctrine of popular sovereignty, the violence of “Bleeding Kansas,” and the act’s role in heightening sectional tensions that led to the Civil War. It includes scholarly histories, legal and political analyses, biographies of key figures (e.g., Stephen A. Douglas, Abraham Lincoln), collections of primary documents, and historical fiction or narrative nonfiction set around the events and debates of the 1850s. Books in this category explore themes of slavery and expansion, antebellum party politics, grassroots activism and violence, and the transformation of American national identity in the lead-up to the Civil War.
