little success but was an important forerunner
to other anti-slavery eorts. Free Soil Party opposed the expansion of slavery
into the western territories — a popular issue in the
wake of the Mexican War (1846–48). Running on the
slogan “Free Soil, Free Speech, Free Labor and Free
Men,” they elected several men to CongressThe “Know-Nothing” Party organized in opposition to immigration, especially
of Catholics. At rst they worked in secret, and when asked about their
