Solution

The correct answer is Missouri.

During the 1850s, especially after the passage of the Kansas-Nebraska Act in 1854, proslavery supporters from Missouri migrated into Kansas in large numbers. This was part of a broader conflict known as "Bleeding Kansas," where proslavery and antislavery factions clashed over whether Kansas would enter the Union as a free state or a slave state.

Missouri was a slave state, and many of its residents supported the institution of slavery. They saw the opportunity to influence the outcome of Kansas’ status by moving in, voting, and even intimidating those who opposed slavery. This influx led to violent confrontations between the two groups and was significant in heightening tensions that eventually contributed to the onset of the Civil War.
