Native Americans were hunter-gatherers, so they saw land as hunting territory, where Europeans saw it as farmland and land to settle on. The native Americans would move around the land to hunt the animals and thus didn't claim land, but the colonist saw it as their land, so it was more important for them.
The Free Soil Party was a short-lived political party in the United States active from 1848 to 1854, when it merged into the Republican Party. The party was largely focused on the single issue of opposing the expansion of slavery into the western territories of the United States.
