The Whig party opposed the expansion of slavery, while the Free-Soil party specifically focused on preventing the spread of slavery into new territories. The Know Nothing party, on the other hand, was anti-immigrant and aimed to restrict immigration and naturalization.
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.
The Whig Party, the Free-Soil Party, and the Know-Nothing Party were all significant political movements in the United States during the mid-19th century, each addressing different issues. The Whig Party, active primarily in the 1830s and 1840s, focused on economic modernization and infrastructure development. The Free-Soil Party emerged in the 1840s, opposing the expansion of slavery into western territories, advocating for free land and labor. The Know-Nothing Party, rising in the 1850s, was primarily nativist, opposing immigration and promoting anti-Catholic sentiments, reflecting the anxieties about the growing immigrant population.
