The 1851 Vermont gubernatorial election was held on September 2, 1851.[1] The state continued its support for the Whig party, and Whig Governor Charles K. Williams was easily re-elected to a one-year term.[2] The strong showing of the Free Soil Party candidate Timothy P. Redfield also showed that Vermont was on its way to becoming an anti-slavery bastion.[3] The Democratic nominee, John S. Robinson went on to win the governorship in 1853.[4]
