Detailed explanation-1: -The Free Soil Party was a short-lived coalition political party in the United States active from 1848 to 1854, when it merged into the Republican Party. The party was largely focused on the single issue of opposing the expansion of slavery into the western territories of the United States.
Detailed explanation-2: -The FREE SOIL PARTY of Cuyahoga County was organized in the summer of 1848 as part of a national third-party movement which supported free grants of public land to settlers and opposed the extension of slavery to the western territories.
Detailed explanation-3: -Why did the Free Soilers condemn slavery? Free-soilers feared that blacks, both free and enslaved, posed a threat to whites in taking jobs, as whites charged a higher price for working than did blacks, where slaves were free and free blacks were easily cheaper than white workers.
