The correct answer is B) People from both sides were carrying weapons and willing to fight.

The ideas of popular sovereignty contributed to increased violence in the Kansas-Nebraska territory in that people from both sides were carrying weapons and willing to fight.

People that supported slavery and people that opposed slavery fought to have control of the region. The Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1864 approved popular sovereignty to allow the people that lived in those territories to decide if they would allow slavery or not. The Act changed the agreements of the Missouri Compromise and the conflicts that started were so violent that were known as "Bleeding Kansas."
