Explanation:

• First Question: The Whig Party had internal divisions. Conscience Whigs were more anti - slavery, while Cotton Whigs were more pro - southern (in terms of economic interests related to cotton, which was tied to slavery in some ways). So, the composition of Conscience Whigs and Cotton Whigs was unique.
• Second Question: The Liberty Party was an abolitionist - oriented party. Its main goal was to abolish slavery.
• Third Question: The 'Know Nothings' (officially the American Party) were a secretive organization. When asked about their activities, members were instructed to say "I know nothing", which led to the nickname.
• Fourth Question: The Texas Annexation (1845) and the Mexican Cession (1848, after the Mexican - American War) added large territories. There was a debate over whether these new areas would allow slavery or not, which complicated the balance of free and slave states.

Answer:

• First Question: Consisted of Conscience Whigs and Cotton Whigs
• Second Question: Abolish slavery
• Third Question: They were intentionally secretive
• Fourth Question: Texas and Mexico Cession
