Zachary Taylor, who was a military leader during the Mexican-American War, was elected as president due to his victories in the field.

In the election of 1848, the Democrats chose a platform that remained silent on slavery, and nominee Lewis Cass was pro-slavery, so many anti-slavery Democrats walked out of the Baltimore convention to begin the Free Soil party.
