After the Pottawatomie Massacre, Kansas continued to bleed through the summer of 1856. But as the country reacted to the 1856 election and the Dred Scott decision, the territory turned in favor of the Free State settlers and Kansas looked positioned to enter the country as a free state. 

Chris Calton gives a revisionist look at the antebellum period leading up to the Civil War. This is the 11th episode in the second season of Historical Controversies.
