What was the wigs political party position on slavery?
Most of the men in the Whigs Party were opposed to slavery but not all of them. Because the Democrat Party was mostly supportive of slavery and held the majority in Congress, the Whigs were not as effective in ending slavery. Abraham Lincoln was part of the Whigs Party and then helped launch the Republican Party. The Republican Party nominated Lincoln for President and he beat his Democrat opponent, carrying all the Northern States. This would become the beginning of the end of slavery as Lincoln has been credited with that great accomplishment.
