The Free-Soil Party sought to end slavery on American soil especially on newly incorporated territory. Free-Soilers therefore disliked the Kansas-Nebraska Act because it allowed for the potentiality of slavery in those states. The K-N Act called for popular sovereignty, which meant it allowed the people of the new states determine whether or not they wanted slavery.
