Answer:

A. Fighting broke out between pro-slavery and anti-slavery groups in Kansas

Step-by-step explanation:

It became law on May 30, 1854. The Kansas-Nebraska Act repealed the Missouri Compromise, created two new territories, and allowed for popular sovereignty. It also produced a violent uprising known as “Bleeding Kansas,” as proslavery and antislavery activists flooded into the territories to sway the vote.
