The End of the Party
Henry
Clay and others had called themselves National Republicans -based on
their vision of the United States as nation while others saw it as a
confederation of states - taking strong national measures like building
inter-state roads. When a number of southern Democrats like John C.
Calhoun, threw their lot in with the National Republicans, they were
united only by their opposition to the growing "kinglike" strength of
the president. Thus they came to be called Whigs, implying that the
Jacksonians were Tories, in favor of "King" Andrew.
The Whig party ran, for some years, mostly in strong second place to the Democrats. They
elected William Henry Harrison, in the famous "Tippecanoe and Tyler
Too" campaign of nonsense, copied from the Jackson Democrats, but
Harrison (the hero of Tippecanoe) died just days into his presidency,
and was succeded by Tyler, one of the anti-Jackson democrats, who showed
himself to be basically a firm Democrat, and was "read out of the Whig
party". They also elected Zachary Taylor (another war hero and no
politician) who was died fairly early in the term, making Millard
Filmore president.
In the 1850s when the nation became increasingly divided over slavery, a new Republican party formed,
primarily to keep slavery quarantined off in the South, while Southern
sentiment was for their right to move, with their way of life, into any
new territory. Their methods of agriculture and their best cash crops
tended to deplete the soil, so that Southerners were among the most
aggressive Western expansionists.
The
Republican Party, while it also attracted many anti-slavery Democrats,
drew off so many Whigs that they effectively killed the Whig party. The
Whigs were also badly hurt by the short-lived Native American or
Know-Nothing party, which was primarily anti-immigrant and
anti-Catholic. This party was strong in urban areas, which had also been
a Whig stronghold. The last year the Whigs had a presidential candidate
was in 1856.
