Answer (1)
The main reason Free Soilers came to Kansas in the 1800s was to ensure that Kansas voted to become a free state. They wanted to stop slavery from spreading into new areas and make sure Kansas would be a place where people couldn’t own slaves. It wasn’t about helping African Americans move there or claiming free land, it was all about keeping slavery out.They were called Free Soilers because they believed in the idea of "free soil" meaning land where slavery was not allowed. The name came from their goal to keep new territories, like Kansas, free from slavery so that free people could work the land without competing with enslaved labor. It was all about protecting the opportunity for free workers.
