Description:Frederick J. Blue provides the first comprehensive history of the Free Soil Party. With the war against Mexico, many northerners felt compelled to prevent slavery from expanding into any newly-acquired territories, in support of the Wilmot Proviso. Democrats and Whigs refused to take stands on the issue during the presidential election of 1848, so the northern opponents of slavery’s expansion formed the Free Soil Party. Important Free Soilers included Martin Van Buren, Charles Francis Adams, Salmon Chase, Joshua Giddings, Charles Sumner, and John P. Hale.The author provides a case study in American third party politics, and shows how changes in the positions of the major parties often result from third party movements. While the Free Soil Party lasted only a short time, its policies launched the Republican Party in 1854.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
