slavery
The issue of slavery split the party. "Conscience Whigs" in the North favored the abolition of slavery and halting the institution's spread into new territories. The "Cotton Whigs" in the South took the opposite viewpoints. Following Scott's poor showing in 1852, the southerners moved to the Democratic Party and the northerners to the newly formed Republican Party.
Congress attempted to stop discussion on the slavery issue after they were flooded by over 100,000 petitions urging the abolition of slavery in the 1830's. In 1836, they passed a resolution that banned the discussion of these petitions and enforced the ban in 1839, 1841 and 1843. However, John Quincy Adams, who believed this was unfair, came up with creative methods of bringing the debate up on the floor anyway.
