The northern democrats & southern democrats were completely at odds and the old Whig party was no more. The whigs split into two parties as well. The American party (the know- nothings) and the free-soilers (the party that supported JC Freemont began to merge behind the ideology that freedom and the American dream were synonymous with self-determination. Unfortunately, the American party and the free soilers did not merge in 1856 on the matter of whether or not Slavery was not an institution that could stand in their United States. Millard Fillmore took a few states away from Freemont and Buchanan won the election. A new candidate would soon bring these parties together in 1860 under the flag of the republican party- Abraham Lincoln.
