The KKK stands for the Ku Klan Klux. The group is a socialist group that thinks that whites (Caucasians ) are superior to other races. They are defined as an extremist racist group. The group is often seen with white hoods like the one below. So they often threaten other races with violence (especially dark skinned African Americans) and at times, they do kill people. Their most notrious time was after the Civil War in which they harassed freed slaves. The group originated in the South of the U.S
The Free Soil Party was a short-lived political party in the United States active in the 1848 and 1852 presidential elections, and in some state elections. Founded in Buffalo, New York, it was a third party and a single-issue party that largely appealed to and drew its greatest strength from New York State. The party leadership consisted of former anti-slavery members of the Whig Party and the Democratic Party. Its main purpose was opposing the expansion of slavery into the western territories, arguing that free men on free soil comprised a morally and economically superior system to slavery. They opposed slavery in the new territories (agreeing with the Wilmot Proviso) and sometimes worked to remove existing laws that discriminated against freed African Americans in states such as Ohio.
