The main goal of the Free Soil Party was to oppose the expansion of slavery into the western territories of the United States. They believed that free land should be available for free men, promoting the idea that the new territories should be reserved for free labor and settlers rather than slaveholding interests. This stance aimed to protect the rights of white laborers and ensure that the economic opportunities in the west would not be undermined by the institution of slavery.
