United States House of Representatives elections, 1852
- United States House of Representatives elections, 1852
The U.S. House election, 1852 was an election for the United States House of Representatives in 1852.
This election cycle saw the Democrats increase their House majority and gain the presidency (under Franklin Pierce). Although sectionalism remained a huge problem, the parties got a slight boost of stability due to the unity of a bitter presidential campaign. Two small third parties, the Constitutional Unionists and States' Rights parties, quickly collapsed prior to this election, while the anti-slavery Free Soil Party held onto its four seats.
