Previously existing disagreements within the Whig and Democratic parties, the two most powerful political parties of the time, over the issue of slavery were intensified during the Kansas-Nebraska controversy. These divisions led many ex-Whigs, Northern Democrats, and Free-Soilers to form local antislavery parties. This group of parties eventually coalesced into the Republican Party. The Republican Party unified these groups with its strongly antislavery position.
