Based on the information below…Why did the Whig party fall apart? Northern (Conscience)Southern (Cotton) * opposed Fugitive Slave Act* supported Fugitive Slave Act * opposed Compromise of 1850* supported Compromise of 1850

K NOW N OTHINGS Formed around Really called the American Party but because they used a secret handshake and said “I know nothing” when asked about their activities they soon were called the Know-Nothings Supported: Longer naturalization period Opposed: Immigrants Catholics (pope threatened democracy)

Happened in Louisville, Kentucky

K NOW N OTHINGS 1854 the party splits over slavery in the territories.

A NTI -S LAVERY P ARTIES Liberty Party wanted to achieve abolition by passing new laws Free Soil Party – Opposed extension of slavery into the new territories - that slavery should be contained, and that if contained it would ultimately disappear
