The Free Soil Party nominated ex-president, Martin Van Buren, former Democrat from New York. He was able to attract enough votes, especially in New York, to tip the election to Taylor over the Democratic candidate, Lewis Cass.
The Free Soil Party split the vote of the Democratic Party, resulting in Zachary Taylor winning the election of 1848. The Free Soil Party was in existence from 1848 to 1854.
