Early Thunder is about a boy named Daniel West. He is living with a single dad in The town of Salem right before the Revolutionary War breaks out. Daniel is faced with a decision of either being a Whig or a Tory. He is also faced with his dad coming home with a new mom when Daniel did not even know he was seeing anyone. This is a very good book about the life of a boy during the Revolutionary War.
The party leadership consisted of former anti-slavery members of the Whig Party and the Democratic Party. Its main purpose was opposing the expansion of slavery into the western territories, arguing that free men on free soil comprised a morally and economically superior system to slavery.
Although short lived "1848-1852", this third party sent two Senators and fourteen Representatives to the thirty-first Congress. *The main party leaders were Salmon P. Chase of Ohio and John P. Hale of New Hampshire. For the election of 1848 the Free-Soil party nominated former Democratic president *Martin Van Buren, who continued to be politically active and he ran a strong campaign by winning 11 of the 15 northern states. However Buren could not beat Taylor's strength in the South and Buren lost that election. Many anti-slavery Whigs did not join the Free Soil Party mainly of disapproval of the nomination of Martin Van Buren and because of this he won no electoral votes.

They didn't, exactly. The Whig Party evolved from the National Republican Party (a splinter of the Jeffersonian Democratic-Republicans established around 1824), then split into the Free Soil and Know-Nothing Parties in the 1840s. The new Republican Party was established around 1854, and consisted largely of former Whig, Free Soil and Know-Nothing Party members.
Fillmore was a Whig when he was elected vice-president. He was the last Whig to be President. Later he ran as the candidate for the American (aka Know-Nothing) party.
