Explain why the West must not succumb to slavery or Explain why it is so important for the West to remain “free labor ideology” and not allow slave labor

This lesson explains the origins of the Republican Party in the 1850s as a

conglomeration of several factions, which held a common belief in the importance of

“free labor.” Drawn from elements in the Free Soil, Liberty, and even Democratic

Parties, the new Republicans idealized the industrial worker who sold his own labor

and, through thrift and hard work, achieved independence and social position. Students

will learn that a national crisis emerged when both the Northern Republicans and

Southern Democrats realized that free labor and slavery could not co-exist, especially in

the new western territories won from Mexico in 1848. Republicans strove to recognize

the dignity of labor by separating it from slavery; Southern Democrats, on the other

hand, did not wish to be part of a nation that enriched northern industrialists while

impoverishing southern farmers with tariffs. By 1860, all the elements for southern

secession were in place, and the election of a Republican President ensured it. By the

end of the lesson, students will also discover that, while the Civil War was certainly

provoked by pro- and anti-slavery factions, few if any of the leading actors believed in

racial equality
