The Free Soil Party was organized in 1848 with the primary goal of opposing the extension of slavery into the newly acquired western territories following the Mexican-American War. Its slogan, "Free Soil, Free Speech, Free Labor, and Free Men," underscored its commitment to preventing the spread of slavery and promoting free labor. The party attracted former members of the Democratic and Whig parties who were discontented with their respective stances on slavery. Ultimately, the Free Soil Party played a significant role in shaping the political landscape leading up to the Civil War.
