The main candidates in the 1852 presidential election were Franklin Pierce of the Democratic Party and Winfield Scott of the Whig Party. Franklin Pierce supported the expansion of slavery into the territories and sought to maintain the Union by appeasing Southern interests. Winfield Scott advocated for a more moderate approach, promoting the Compromise of 1850 and opposing the spread of slavery into new territories, although his position was less clearly defined due to the Whig Party's internal divisions. The election highlighted the growing sectional tensions in the United States over slavery.
