	U.S. presidential election, 1852 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The U.S. presidential election of 1852 was in many ways a replay of the election of 1844.
		The Democrats, anticipating a loss in the general election but not wanting to re-nominate 1848 nominee Lewis Cass, instead nominated the virtually unknown Franklin Pierce of New Hampshire.
		Finally, Scott's status as a war hero was somewhat offset by the fact that Pierce was himself a Mexican War brigadier general, leading to an overwhelming defeat for Scott, who won only the states of Kentucky, Tennessee, Massachusetts, and Vermont.

	Pierce (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		In the 1852 election, Pierce was proposed by friends to be the Democratic candidate for president, and after 48 ballots, Pierce was given the nomination, a truly shocking accomplishment.
		The issue of the Missouri Compromise was important in the election, and because of the South’s concern about the contender Gen. Scott’s views, Pierce narrowly won the election.
		Pierce enlisted as a private in the Army during the Mexican War, and was catapulted upwards to the rank of brigadier general within two months of enlistment, owing to some string pulling by his father, a former general.

		The approach of the 1852 election revealed, however, that various factions still held positions at odds with the political Compromise settlement of 1850.
		As early as January 1852, the journal indicated the necessity of major reorganization, should voters not be aroused from their "present lethargy" and the Whig candidate lose (XV, i, 10).

		Although King and his presidential running mate Franklin Pierce won the 1852 election, deteriorating health kept him from returning to the Senate Chamber in his new role.
