The main reason Free Soilers came to Kansas in the 1800s was to oppose the expansion of slavery into the new territories. They sought to establish Kansas as a free state, promoting the idea that the western lands should be open to free labor and settlement rather than slavery. This movement was part of the broader conflict between pro-slavery and anti-slavery forces, leading to violent confrontations known as "Bleeding Kansas." The Free Soilers believed that the presence of slavery would hinder economic opportunities for white settlers and undermine democratic ideals.
