Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The Free Soil Party’s slogan was “free soil, free speech, free labor, and free men.” The Free Soilers opposed slavery’s expansion into any new territories or states. They generally believed that the government could not end slavery where it already existed but that it could restrict slavery in new areas.
Detailed explanation-2: -In contrast to abolitionists, who opposed slavery on moral grounds, most Free-Soilers opposed slavery because they felt that white laborers should not have to compete with-nor be “degraded” by-the presence of black slaves in the new territories.
