- Description:
- The Liberty Party, founded by abolitionists at Albany, N.Y., in 1840 became the main conduit of antislavery sentiments during the 1840's, and was a basis for many state Free Soil parties, as in New Hampshire. Although the New Hampshire party lacked strong leadership and an effective press, and drifted from election to election, it did attract unhappy Whigs and Democrats before merging with the Independent Democrats in 1846.
