Why did voters leave the Whig and Democratic Parties to join the Free-Soil Party in 1848?
Voters left the Whig and Democratic Parties to join the Free-Soil Party in 1848 primarily due to growing concerns over the expansion of slavery into new territories acquired from Mexico. Many Northerners, particularly abolitionists and those who opposed the political power of slaveholders, were dissatisfied with their parties' stances on slavery. The Free-Soil Party, advocating for "free soil, free speech, free labor, and free men," attracted those who wanted to prevent the spread of slavery and promote a vision of a nation where free labor would thrive. This shift reflected the increasing polarization of American politics around the issue of slavery.
What was true about the Whig Free-Soil and Know Nothing parties?
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.
Why did the Republican Party break from the Whigs?
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.
