Winfield Scott, (1786-1866), was an American army officer, who played a major role in the Mexican War and ran for the presidency in 1852. Scott was born near Petersburg, Virginia. He studied law until 1808, when he joined the U.S. Army and received a commission as captain of light artillery. At the beginning of the War of 1812 with Great Britain, Scott was appointed a lieutenant colonel and sent to the Canadian frontier. He led his regiment in the Battle of Queenston Heights on October 13, 1812, in which the American forces were repulsed with heavy losses, and Scott was taken prisoner. He was exchanged a year later. In 1814 Scott, now a brigadier general, led his brigade in the battles of Chippewa, on July 5, and Lundy's Lane on July 25. His military successes made him a national hero, and he was brevetted a major general.

In 1832 President Andrew Jackson appointed Scott military guardian of federal authority during the nullification controversy in South Carolina. He was also a major influence in 1839 in the pacification of the Native American tribe of the Cherokee, who refused to give up their eastern lands. In 1841 Scott was appointed general in chief of the U.S. Army, and in 1847, after the beginning of the Mexican War, he was appointed commander of the U.S. forces in Mexico. He led his troops in a series of victories, at Veracruz, Cerro Gordo, and Chapultepec. On September 14, 1847, he occupied the national palace in Mexico City. Scott returned to the U.S. in 1848, and in 1852 Congress raised his rank to lieutenant general, the first since George Washington. He was also nominated by the Whig party for the presidency in 1852 but was overwhelmingly defeated. He retired in 1861.
