9 août 1848 - Establishment of the Free-Soil Party
Description:
The Free Soil Party was significant because it was the one of the only parties that was fully against the expansion of slavery. However, they were not abotilitionist because they did not think Congress had the power to end slavery. This further intensified Sectionalism simply because there would be rivaling parties and people to go against them.Ajouté au bande de temps:
