The Whigs and Democrats avoided and evaded the issue of slavery in the election of 1848 by splitting down the middle on who was for and who was against slavery. Whigs and Democrats in the South wanted to keep slavery. Whigs and Democrats in the North wanted to abolish slavery.
Both the Whigs and the Democrats had been in one party, the Democratic-Republicans. The Democrats were champions of states' rights, and was basically the same party as it is today. The Whigs wanted a strong federal government, and began as the opposition to Jackson, but ended when the party split into additional factions.
