Bleeding Kansas
The state of Kansas had a lot of tension because of one side favoring slavery while the others didn't favor slavery, This resulted in an attack on the town of Lawrence from border ruffians.The border ruffians wrecked news presses,stole from shops and homes, and burned the hotel of the elected free state governor.By the end of 1856 the fighting had stopped but 200 people had died and $2 million dollars worth or property had been destroyed.
