Jacksonian Antislavery & the Politics of Free Soil, 1824-1854 Book Summary and Study Guide

Detailed plot synopsis reviews of Jacksonian Antislavery & the Politics of Free Soil, 1824-1854


Third parties have rarely fared well in American politics. The Free Soil Party of the pre-Civil War days, for example, had at its height a handful of congressional representatives and served primarily as a spoiler between the two major parties, the Whigs and the Democrats.
