Neither candidate took a stand on slavery in the territories
In the 1848 election, the Whigs and Democrats were forced to take a stand on slavery because the issue of the expansion of slavery into new territories was becoming increasingly contentious. The Mexican-American war had recently ended, and there was a disagreement over whether slavery should be allowed in the newly acquired territory. This forced both parties to address the issue of slavery in their platforms and appeal to the different factions within their parties.
