Free Soil Movement (1 gen 1848 anni – 1 gen 1854 anni)

Descrizione:

The Free Soil Party advocated for the prevention of slavery expansion, internal improvements, and free homesteads. The party was started by Northerners who were not against slavery but were against the westward expansion of slavery. The reason for this opposition to expansion was because they did not want whites to have to compete with African Americans, free or enslaved, for job opportunities.
