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.
The Whig party was founded in 1830, only to dissolve shortly after in 1860. The party was formed in opposition to Andrew Jackson and his Democratic Party.
