True

Explanation:

Hello! The Whig movement formed with the idea to be against the Democrats. The Whig had support from all the elite economic groups, thereby consolidating a sufficient electoral base to dispute the power of the Democratic government. At that time, the Democrats were the conservative that represented the ordinary man and related to the catholic religion, that's why the evangelists chose the Whig as representatives.
