The Conscience Whigs were a faction of the Whig Party United States Whig Party in the state of Massachusetts noted for their moral opposition to slavery . They were noted as opponents of the more conservative Cotton Whigs who dominated the state party, led by such figures as Edward Everett , Robert C. Winthrop , and Abbott Lawrence , whose close association with the New England textile industry led them to de emphasize the slavery issue. Leaders of the Conscience Whigs included Charles Sumner , Henry Wilson , and Charles Francis Adams, Sr. Charles Francis Adams . The group split from the Whig party in 1848, when the national party nominated the slave owning General Zachary Taylor for President, and played a role in the creation of the new Free Soil Party , which nominated Adams for Vice President in that year. Following the failure of the Free Soil Party in that year, however, many Conscience Whigs returned to the Whig fold, and their leaders played an important role later in the foundation of the Republican Party United States Republican Party . The term Conscience Whig is sometimes used more broadly to refer to Whigs in other states noted for their opposition to slavery. References Whigs A Dictionary of British History. Ed. John Cannon.
