United States House of Representatives elections, 1846 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

United States House of Representatives elections, 1846

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The U.S. House election, 1846 was an election for the United States House of Representatives in 1846.

The Whigs took back control of the House by a slim majority after picking up numerous seats in the South and New England. The Mexican-American War was the biggest issue concerning this election. While the war was widely supported west of the Appalachian Mountains, many people in eastern urban regions were opposed. The extreme loyalty of the Democratic Congress--with only 14 representatives voting against the war---was a huge factor in the Whig pick-up.

Notable freshmen include future president Abraham Lincoln, elected as a Whig to his first and only term in this election.
