jan 1, 1853 - Fall of Whig Party

Description:

Zachary Taylor and Millard Fillmore were elected under the Whig party, but Fillmore's policies were controversial within the party. The anti-slavery sects of the party (Barnburners and Free Soilers) prevented Fillmore from being elected again, but this effectively destroyed the party.
