Question 6 • (AG Q3) American History 8: 25-26 (AHostetler)

What did Winfield Scott and Zachary Taylor have in common? Choose all correct answers.

Answer

A

Both were veterans of the War of 1812.

B

Both led US troops in Mexico.

C

Both ran for president of the United States as members of the Whig Party.

D

Both were elected president.

E

Both lost key battles during the war against Mexico.

Explanation

Both Scott and Taylor served in the War of 1812, and both later commanded U.S. troops in the Mexican-American War. They also both ran for president as Whigs: Taylor won in 1848, while Scott lost in 1852. D is incorrect because Scott was never elected president, and E is incorrect because neither is known for losing key battles in the war against Mexico.
