Answer 2

Students should draw on earlier chapters to understand what the Whigs stood for. As a party of evangelicals and compromisers, the Whigs lost their focus during the tumultuous 1850s. The influx of Catholic immigrants angered their constituency, an anger that was intensified by the party's attempts (however ineptly) to appeal to these Irish and German immigrants. This left the Whigs vulnerable to single-issue groups like the Know-Nothings. The Whigs' willingness to seek compromise in the face of the slave power left them vulnerable to the equally single-issue Republican Party.
