A group that was part of the Free-Soil Party was made up of A. anti-abolitionists. B. Republicans. C. antislavery Whigs. D. Southern Democrats.

Sagot :

The correct answer is C) Antislavery Whigs.

Members of the free soil part were individuals who did not want the institution of slavery to spread to the new states acquired by the US, especially after the Mexican American War. This determination to keep slavery out was not driven by moral reasons, rather it was driven by economics. Many members of this group did not want slavery to expand because they believed it cheapened the labor of white farmers.
