The Free-Soil Party’s main goal was to prevent the expansion of slavery into the western territories and new states (summed up in their slogan “Free Soil, Free Speech, Free Labor, and Free Men”).
The party that most clearly shared that goal was the Republican Party (formed in 1854), which likewise opposed the extension of slavery into the territories. (The earlier Liberty Party also opposed slavery, but it pushed for immediate abolition rather than just stopping its expansion.)
