The Free Soilers were a political party founded in 1848 that opposed the expansion of slavery into new territories. They were not necessarily abolitionists, as their primary goal was to prevent the spread of slavery rather than advocate for its immediate end. Abolitionists, on the other hand, were individuals and groups who sought the immediate emancipation and abolition of slavery.
Pro-slavery forces attacked Lawrence, Kansas in 1856 in an attempt to suppress the anti-slavery movement in the region and intimidate its residents. The town was seen as a stronghold of free-soilers and abolitionists, making it a target for pro-slavery forces seeking to exert control over the territory.
Abolitionists believed that slavery was morally wrong and campaigned for its immediate abolition. They argued that all people, regardless of race, should be free and have equal rights. Abolitionists played a key role in the movement to end slavery in the United States.
Abolitionists worked to free slaves by participating in the Underground Railroad, which helped slaves escape to freedom. They also engaged in political activism, lobbying for the abolition of slavery through legislative means. Additionally, abolitionists spread awareness and information about the cruelty of slavery through literature, speeches, and social movements.
Free labor advocates believed in the voluntary exchange of labor for wages, promoting the idea that individuals should have the freedom to choose where and how they worked. Abolitionists, on the other hand, focused on the moral and ethical issues of slavery, aiming to abolish the institution of slavery altogether. While there could be overlap between the two groups, their main focus and strategies differed.

Abolitionists wanted to end slavery, while "Free Soilers" were more interested in making sure the state they lived in was not a slave state. Some people were both, but there were Free Soilers who (perhaps through believing that slavery could not be done away with completely) had only the goal of making sure the new territory they had moved into entered the Union as a free state.
