'''Slave Power''' was pejorative - but deserved, and accurate - term used by [[Republican]] opponents of slavery in the U.S. to identify the corrupting influence that [[slavery]] had on the [[United States of America]]. The [[Republican Party]] made it a main theme of the 1850s, arguing that the slave owners had seized control of most of the national government and were using it to their own ends. The Republicans argued this violated [[Republicanism]]—that is, it violated basic American political values.
