Free Soilers
For the region to have no slavery and only whites be the ones living
True
Free-Soilers were Northerners who wanted to contain slavery, as in keep it from spreading to new territories. Free-Soilers were alright with keeping the existing slavery where it was already prevalent. They're opinions were based on more political aspects.Abolitionists wanted to completely get rid of existing slavery and prevent it from becoming legal in new territories. They're opinions were based more on moral aspects.
Abolitionists wanted to end slavery, while "Free Soilers" were more interested in making sure the state they lived in was not a slave state. Some people were both, but there were Free Soilers who (perhaps through believing that slavery could not be done away with completely) had only the goal of making sure the new territory they had moved into entered the Union as a free state.
