9 août 1850 - Free Soil Party Founded

Description:

The Free-Soil Party, formed in 1848, was a political coalition with the primary goal of preventing the expansion of slavery into the western territories of the United States. The party's slogan, "Free Soil, Free Speech, Free Labor, and Free Men," emphasized support for the Wilmot Proviso and appealed to broad anti-slavery sentiments, playing a significant role in the political realignment that eventually led to the rise of the Republican Party.
