In the summer of 1850, Taylor became even more hostile to the South when he threatened to lead the U.S. Army against the Texas militia, which was trying to spread slavery westward by threatening Texas's boundary with the territory of New Mexico.

Who were the forgettable presidents?
I remember them all, but those who were never elected , served less than a full term and did not run for another term would seem to be the most forgettable. These people are John Tyler, Millard Fillmore, Andrew Johnson and Chester Arthur. You might add Gerald Ford, but he ran for president and you might take away Millard Fillmore who made a run as a third party candidate that may have tipped an election. Andrew Johnson served in memorable times and had a tumultuous administration which makes him less forgettable. In most polls taken of "experts" in the field of the Presidency, the president who tends to turn up dead last as an effective president is James Buchanan, also making him very "forgettable".
