The ongoing debate over slavery, however, brought the nation closer to a sectional divide, particularly when decisions had to be made about whether or not to allow slavery in states that were forming in newly acquired territory. A Southerner by birth, Taylor was in favor of keeping slavery out of the new Southwest territories, namely California and New Mexico, and under his administration, Congress negotiatied to resolve the manifold political issues caused by slavery. But Taylor\u00e2\u0080\u0099s best efforts were ended by his sudden death, less than two years into his presidency. In this election year portrait, Taylor is presented as a sedate and uncharacteristically groomed figure. \u00e2\u0080\u009cOld Rough and Ready,\u00e2\u0080\u009d as Taylor\u00e2\u0080\u0099s soldiers knew him, usually dressed \u00e2\u0080\u009centirely for comfort,\u00e2\u0080\u009d wrote Lieutenant Ulysses S.

Sin embargo, el debate vigente sobre el asunto de la esclavitud empujaba al pa\u00c3\u00ads hacia la divisi\u00c3\u00b3n, sobre todo a la hora de decidir si se permitir\u00c3\u00adan esclavos en los estados que se estaban formando en los territorios reci\u00c3\u00a9n adquiridos. Sure\u00c3\u00b1o de nacimiento, Taylor estaba a favor de prohibir la esclavitud en los nuevos territorios del suroeste, es decir, California y Nuevo M\u00c3\u00a9xico, y bajo su administraci\u00c3\u00b3n, el Congreso condujo negociaciones para resolver los m\u00c3\u00baltiples problemas pol\u00c3\u00adticos causados por la esclavitud.
