Slogan was "Free soil, speech, labour, and men." *Taylor wins, because the democratic vote was split by Free-Soil Van Buren *Gold is discovered in California, in which the California gov't isn't prepared for. Robbery claim jumping, and murder become common here. Meanwhile, Taylor secretly encourages to draft the Constitution of 1849 (excludes slavery), applied to Congress for admission into Union (California was to be free soil) *With 15 free states & 15 slave states, what would California be? *New Mexico & Utah were most likely to become free, which angered pro-slavery people who fought for the territories.
