Daniel Webster in the whig party believed he would lead the party after the election of William henry Harrison with Harrison as the figure-head.
Opponents of President Andrew Jackson and his Jacksonian Democrats established the Whig Party in 1834. The Whigs, led by Henry Clay, were one of the two main political parties in the United States from the late 1830s through the early 1850s.
The name "Whigs" was drawn from the English antimonarchist party and was an attempt to portray Jackson as "King Andrew." While Jacksonian Democrats portrayed the Whigs as the party of the aristocracy, they were able to garner support from a range of social classes and were represented by four presidents: William Henry Harrison, Zachary Taylor, John Tyler, and Millard Fillmore.
In the Parliaments of England, Scotland, Ireland, Great Britain, and the United Kingdom, the Whigs first existed as a political faction and then as a political party. The Whigs and the Tories fought for control between the 1680s and the 1850s.
