Whig Presidents
As a whole, the party was not very successful. Two Whigs were elected to the presidency, [[William Henry Harrison]] and [[Zachary Taylor]], however neither completed their terms in office. The ultimate downfall of the party was the issue of [[slavery]], with northern Whigs supporting abolitionism and the southern Whigs supporting the current institutions.
