In addition to opposing the extension of slavery, the platform backed a homestead law and a tariff for revenue. The party slogan was "free soil, free speech, free labor, and free men." Though carrying no states for president, the party did elect two U.S. senators and fourteen representatives. It was absorbed into the newly formed Republican party in 1854.

One effect of the Free Soil Party was to draw attention to the issue of slavery expansion in the United States. They advocated for the prohibition of slavery in newly acquired territories, which eventually contributed to the tensions that led to the Civil War.

The Free Soil Party was an anti-slavery party although they were not necessarily in favor of equal rights for freed slaves but they also held stances on other issues as well. Martin Van Buren was their presidential candidate in 1848. This party appealed to the Northerns and the superiority of free labor was their main ideology. They thought that free labor was a better system of labor than slave labor because it was more efficient. It would stop the spread of slavery in new territories but it was still racist because they didn't like the idea of slaves, and white people had to compete with the blacks for jobs.
