The Whigs.
whigs
"Conscience Whigs".
They were called "Conscience Whigs".
Famous Whigs included Daniel Webster, Zachary Taylor, John Quincy Adams, and Henry Clay.
The Whigs and Democrats avoided and evaded the issue of slavery in the election of 1848 by splitting down the middle on who was for and who was against slavery. Whigs and Democrats in the South wanted to keep slavery. Whigs and Democrats in the North wanted to abolish slavery.
Neither candidate took a stand on slavery in the territories
The Whigs were never banned or disallowed but they split over slavery, lost their political base and won the presidency for the last time in 1848. The new Republican party absorbed a lot of former Whigs.
It is not what they failed to do that kiled them but what they did do. You see At the time slavery was a huge issue and the Democrats and the independent parties choose to take a side while the whigs choose not to. Because the Whigs nether condoned nor condemed slavery they managed to scoop up many exta voters.
1850 was not a year for presidential elections. Gen. Winfield Scott was the Whig nominees in 1852. Of course, the Whig ticket of Taylor and Fillmore won in 1848.
