- United States House of Representatives elections, 1850
The U.S. House election, 1850 was an election for the United States House of Representatives in 1850.
Democrats increased their majority in 1850, Millard Filmore, the Whig who had gained the presidency after the death of Zachary Taylor, grew unpopular. By this election, sectionalism was again becoming a major issue. This is made evident by several third parties that gained seats during the election. The anti-slavery Free Soil Party lost several seats but still held several New England districts. The Constitutional Unionist Party, formed in support of the Compromise of 1850, gained ground in Georgia. The States' Rights Party, based on the issue in its name, was successful in South Carolina.
