Members of the Whig party who supported moderate abolitionism were often referred to as "Free Soilers." This group was primarily concerned with preventing the expansion of slavery into new territories rather than immediate abolition. They aimed to promote free labor and the rights of free men in opposition to the spread of slave-based labor. The Free Soil movement played a significant role in the political landscape leading up to the Civil War.
