President Millard Fillmore was a Whig and sought to be nominated by the Whigs for the 1852 US presidential election. His attempt was blocked by members of his own party. Northern anti-slavery Whigs used their power to have General Winfield Scott be the Whig candidate. Scott lost the 1852 election to Democrat Franklin Pierce.
