A map of the United States in 1854 showing the results of the test-vote on the Kansas-Nebraska Bill in the House of Representatives, which would repeal the Missouri Compromise of 1820 and allow territorial settlers to determine if slavery would be prohibited or allowed within their boundaries. The map indicates that only states could vote on the issue, and the territories were not entitled to vote. The map is coded to show the areas voting for (113), against (100), and not voting, and shows the pattern of southern states tending to vote for, and northern states tending to vote against the measure.
