Whigs opposed the war primarily due to concerns over its morality and the potential for expanding slavery into new territories. They believed the conflict was driven by the interests of slaveholders and would lead to unjust territorial gains. Additionally, many Whigs viewed the war as an overreach of presidential power and felt it was being pursued without proper justification. This opposition reflected broader anxieties about the implications of war on democracy and governance.
