I'm not sure what you mean by ';work';. When Kansas was admitted to the Union as a slave state, hundreds of northern settlers moved there in order to prevent the expansion of slavery. The Kansas-Nebraska act angered many northerners because it abolished the Missouri Compromise which stated that all of the Louisiana territory north of Missouri would ban slavery. In some ways popular sovereignty ';worked'; in the cases of Kansas and Nebraska, but not in favor of slavery. (You may be familiar with John Brown's raid on Harper's Ferry)
