I was writing a memo just now, I wrote an unique and I just stopped and looked at it and realized it was wrong. My whole world had been turned upside down. Then I found this explanation and all is right with the world.
Liberty Party (1840) wanted to abolish slavery; Free Soil Party (1848) wanted to keep slavery from expanding into Western territories; American Party (Know-Nothings in 1854 & 1856) wanted to reduce immigration (nativism); Constitutional Union Party (1860) wanted a compromise between the North & South.
The Free Soil Party was a short-lived political party in the United States active in the 1848 and 1852 presidential elections, and in some state elections.Founded in Buffalo, New York, it was a third party and a single-issue party that largely appealed to and drew its greatest strength from New York State.hey opposed slavery in the new territories (agreeing with the Wilmot Proviso) and sometimes worked to remove existing laws that discriminated against freed African Americans in states such as Ohio. The party membership was largely absorbed by the Republican Party in 1854â1856, by way of the Anti-Nebraska movement.
