The Whig party grew up largely as an opposition party to Andrew Jackson's Democratic Party. It was strongest in the old Federalist strongholds of the Northeast and the old-line Southern states. Some noted Whigs leaders were John Quincy Adams, Henry Clay and Daniel Webster. The party elected its first president in 1840 . It also won in 1848 but was soon divided over slavery, The Republican Party was formed and that was the last of the Whigs.
