The Opposition Party. Most Whig Party candidates ardently opposed the expansionism proposed in the idea of Manifest Destiny. The Whig Party was a big tent party, designed to appeal to a wide variety of voters who were united in their opposition to the policies of Democratic President Andrew Jackson in the 1830s.
In the presidential election of 1844 the Whig Party nominated Henry Clay of Kentucky. Clay refused to take a stand on the annexation of Texas. The Democrats rejected former president Martin Van Buren, who opposed annexation, and nominated James K. Polk of Tennessee. Polk ran on a pro-annexation platform: He would annex Texas, and he would assert American ownership of all of Oregon s territory disputed with Britain. Polk s position on Oregon was intended to reassure Northerners that expansion would benefit them as well as the South.
