Excerpt from A History of the People of the United States, Vol. 7 of 8: From the Revolution to the Civil War, 1841 1850Whig journals ascribed these humiliating defeats to apathy, to the widespread disgust caused by the two vetoes, to the quarrel between Tyler and the Cabinet, to the lack of any general issues, and to local troubles. Anyone, it was said, who would take the pains to scan the returns could see that the Locofocos won through Whig default. In fifteen important States the total Whig vote was less by two hundred thousand than in 1840. These lost votes did not go to the Democrats, for nowhere had they made any large gain and in many States they, too, had suffered losses. Whigs had deliberately stayed away from the polls.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
