Answer:

The Whigs party.

Step-by-step explanation:

Historians’ studies revealed Whig party supported prison reform, educational reform, abolition of capital punishment; and temperance. Although the Whig party was not really an antislavery party, free blacks and abolitionists greatly preferred it more than proslavery Jacksonian Democrats.
