When the republican party formed in the 1850s, its support for free labor meant that? a people worked for free b white men did not haft to compete for jobs c slavery spread in the south d people were hired without restrictions

The correct answer is "D".

Upon its foundation in 1850, the Republican Party had an ideology of "Free Soil, Free Labor, and Free Men". This meant that all men in the country would be benefitted from the same rights. This meant that they were all free and were able to purchase land and apply for a job. They could exercise the tasks that this job involved without any restriction or condition that would hinder their status in regards to other individuals. In other, words, the right to work was for all, regardless of their ethnicity, according to the Republican Party.
