The statement that is FALSE among the choices provided is b. "The new Republican Party formed in the South to defeat abolitionists." The Republican Party was actually formed in the North and was anti-slavery, with its formation being partly a response to the Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854. The party aimed to stop the spread of slavery into the new western territories and eventually sought its abolition.
