Yes, an antislavery legislature was elected in Kansas in the spring of 1855. However, the election was marred by significant violence and voter fraud, with pro-slavery supporters from neighboring Missouri illegally voting in the election. This led to the establishment of a pro-slavery government, which further intensified the conflict between pro-slavery and anti-slavery factions in the territory, contributing to the violent confrontations known as "Bleeding Kansas."
