- United_States_House_of_Representatives_elections,_1854 abstract "Elections to the United States House of Representatives for the 34th Congress were held at various dates in each State, the earliest being on August 4, 1854 (in Arkansas) and the latest on November 6, 1855 (in Louisiana and Maryland)This election was the beginning of the end for the Whigs. Party lines were very blurred and a minority government was formed, with the newly formed Republicans (formerly the Free Soil Party) and Whigs combined forces and caucused as the Opposition Party. Democrats lost a huge number of seats in the North due to the impending slavery crisis, but technically remained the largest single party in the House. The American Party (commonly known as the "Know-Nothings"), a faction based on the fears of immigration and Catholicism which had won several seats in previous elections, surged in popularity and held the balance of power. The large influx of immigrants from Catholic Ireland, escaping the potato famine, and from Catholic Southern Germany, departing due to political and economic instability, shocked many American Protestants and allowed the American Party to grow. The Whigs, divided over the issue of slavery, lost several seats and began to disintegrate. Meanwhile, the newly formed Republican Party, which was anti-slavery and pro-industry, quickly became a force in the North.".
