This paper is on the concept of free labor. Such deep was the issue of slavery that it broke down the part of Whigs during 1850s and led Republicans to replace them as a symbol of hope, prosperity, and economic progress. The main reason of elimination of Whigs from national scene was their persistence to support the slave system in south whereas its own leaders were not willing to support such oppressive practice while rest of Americas strived for economic progress.

The careful concealment of emotion that is typical to high-level diplomatic conferences was quickly abandoned by the infamously emotional leaders, and the result was a conversation which quickly devolved into a schoolyard-style confrontation between a bully and his upstart nemesis.
