The Republican Party.
The political party that stood against the spread of slavery was the newly formed Republican party. The party was emerged to combat the Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854 which aimed to extend slavery.
Slavery was the first big issue for the Republican Party-- the party was formed mostly of people against slavery. When the Whigs split over slavery, most of the anti-slavery Whigs joined the Republicans.
