Answer 1

The results of the 1852 US presidential election begins with 1850 and the 1850 Missouri Compromise. It was signed by Whig President Millard Fillmore. It seemed in1850 that both the Whigs and Democrats had accepted the finality of the second Missouri Compromise. With slavery in the territories now off the national scene, there seemed very little to distinguish the parties. In truth, however, the debate over the Compromise had split apart the Whig Party. As 1852 approached, the northern Whigs, who were the base of the antislavery movement nominated the hero of the Mexican War, Winfield Scott for president. Scott was a Virginian and a pro- compromise candidate. Meanwhile the Democrats were never split over the compromise and nominated Franklin Pierce. Many Whigs did not vote and Pierce beat Scott handily, The Democratic Party's platform was the 1850 Compromise.
