	Free Soil Party
		he Free soil party, a political party organized in 1848 on a platform opposing the extension of slavery, was rooted in the growing conflict between proslavery and antislavery forces in the United States.
		The party evolved from antislavery and otherwise discontented elements in the Democratic and Whig parties.
		The major groups involved in the organization of the Free Soil party at a convention in Buffalo, New York, were the abolitionist Liberty Party, the antislavery Whigs, and a radical faction of the New York Democrats, the Barnburners, who had broken with the state party when it came under control of the conservative Hunkers.

		The major groups involved in the organization of the Free-Soil Party at a convention in Buffalo, New York, in 1848 were the abolitionist Liberty Party, the antislavery Whigs, and a radical faction of the New York Democrats, the Barnburners, who had broken with the state party when it came under control of the conservative Hunkers.
		The slogan of the party was "free soil, free speech, free labor, and free men." The party polled 291,263 votes in the election of 1848; it carried no states, but turned the election in New York to the Whigs, and thus played a decisive role in the election of President Zachary Taylor.
		Despite the dissension, the Whig party, with the popular general Zachary Taylor as its candidate, was successful in the presidential election of 1848.

		The Republican Party was born in the early 1850's by anti-slavery activists and individuals who believed that government should grant western lands to settlers free of charge.
		In 1856, the Republicans became a national party when John C. Fremont was nominated for President under the slogan: "Free soil, free labor, free speech, free men, Fremont." Even though they were considered a "third party" because the Democrats and Whigs represented the two-party system at the time, Fremont received 33% of the vote.
		The symbol of the Republican Party is the elephant.

	AAP Brief History of Movement
		The "woman's issue" complicated quarrels among abolitionists regarding tactics in the religious and political spheres, and the problems led to a schism between the factions.
		Non-Garrisonian abolitionists were reluctant to support the Liberty party because of its allegiance with the moralistic Whig party.
		This trend was reversed in 1854 with passage of the controversial Kansas-Nebraska Act, which repealed the Missouri Compromise's bar on slavery in western territories north of the 36°30' latitude.

	Gustafson / Women and the Republican Party, 1854-1924
		Contesting the accepted notion that women were uninvolved in political parties before they formally got the vote, Gustafson reveals the length and depth of women's partisan activism between the founding of the Republican party, whose abolitionist agenda captured the loyalty of many women, and the passage of the Nineteenth Amendment.
		Women and the Republican Party, 1854-1924 presents the complex interplay of partisan and nonpartisan activity, the fierce debates among women about the best way to make their influence felt, and the ebb and flow of enthusiasm for women's participation within the Republican party.
		Gustafson documents the emergence of third parties--in particular the Progressive party, which split off from the Republican party in 1912--that fused the civic world of reform organizations with the electoral world of voting and legislation.

	H-Net Review: Frank Towers on The Abolitionists and the South, 1831-1861
		Two chapters on the image northern abolitionists constructed of southern white and fl emancipators show that immediatists were absorbed with the career of their cause in the South and used southern abolitionists as evidence that their efforts could triumph.
		In his conclusion, Harrold argues that the actions of abolitionists in the upper South, the region where slavery's economic vitality most appeared to be waning, gave a rational basis to proslavery fears that the border states would slip away from the plantation South's political and economic orbit.
		African-American abolitionists are glaringly absent because of Harrold's focus on the efforts of white abolitionists with ties to northern immediatist organizations.

		By 1848, the Free Soil Party, the successor of the Liberty Party, garnered 300,000 votes standing on the principle that slavery should be prohibited in the area newly acquired from Mexico.
		When the Free Soil party was formed in New York state in 1848 by those who opposed permitting slavery in the new American territory of New Mexico, a chapter was immediately formed in the new state of Wisconsin.
		New arrivals to Wisconsin wanted a party that was anti-slavery, but that excluded other issues championed by Free Soilers, such as prohibition and nativism, both highly unpopular with the many German immigrants who had settled in the state since 1850.

		However you slice it, the two parties have been with us for a very long time and it is unlikely they will ever go away or will fail to dominate the system.
		While no third party has actually eliminated a major party since the fracturing of the Whigs, it is a mistake to think they are not influential.
		In addition to limiting the diversity of parties, WTA leads to extensive gerrymandering, that is, manipulation of the electoral districts in ways that advantage or disadvantage certain groups.

		And the result in 1844 was that the Liberty Party tipped the election to the pro-slavery, pro-war James Polk.
		As for the Liberty Party, it, too, played its role in furthering the abolitionist agenda in the United States: "Although its vote never exceeded 3% of the votes cast in a presidential election, the party did further political abolitionism.

		Until his death in 1857, Birney, the passionate abolitionist, was blamed for giving pro-slavery forces an upper hand at a critical stage in American politics.
		But it is also true that, if a portion of Pat Buchanan's Reform Party voters in Wisconsin, Oregon, Iowa and New Mexico had cast their ballots for Bush, the Republican would have beaten Gore in those states.
		(The Constitution Party was on the ballot in 41 states in 2000, and retains a solid network of activist supporters nationwide.) With growing numbers of core conservatives angered by Bush's policies on immigration, federal spending and individual liberties, a Moore candidacy could develop into a serious problem for the president.

		This allows the party to slip people into elected office at lower levels of governance that the public might have some problems with but who have proven their loyalty to the party bosses and the triopoly and of course this alienates everyone else and keeps voter turn out low.
		In other words it would take decades for a party to be able to organize to play on the same seemingly unreachable field as the Democratic Party and the Republican Party and of course this creates alienation that keeps voter turn out low.
		So it only makes sense that the political culture that was against slavery, the Dixiecrats would take over the abolitionist party, the Republican party, steal elections and then come up with a paper less computerized touch screen voting system with absolutely no way to audit or recount the results.
