Answer:

Outraged, free-soilers formed a separate government. Then they armed for a fight, importing dozens of Sharps rifles from New England in boxes marked "books." The fight came soon enough. On May 21, 1856, a proslavery federal marshal assembled a posse of about 800, which stormed the free-soil town of Lawrence.

I hope this help you!
