Who supported California statehood?

President Zachary Taylor was worried that the entry of California as a free state would tip the balance of slave to free states. He personally wanted California to be a free state because California had already outlawed slavery when it was owned by Mexico.Henry Clay of Kentucky, Daniel Webster of Massachusetts, and Stephen Douglas of Illinois worked on the Compromise of 1850. Zachary Taylor opposed them but he died on July 9, 1850. Millard Fillmore became president. Without the threat of a Taylor veto, the Compromise passed and California became a state on September 9, 1850.

What happened to the US when Millard Fillmore was president in 1849-1850?

Actually, Millard Fillmore's predecessor, Zachary Taylor, was U.S. President from 1849 to 1850. As Vice President, Millard Fillmore took over when Zachary Taylor died in 1850, and he completed the term to which President Taylor was elected, which ended in 1853. When I think of Millard Fillmore, I think of how the Compromise of 1850 backfired. The north thought it gave too much to the south, and the south thought it gave too much too the north. It was supposed to placate both sides, but instead it had the exact opposite effect. California, which became a U.S. state in 1850, was the last state to be admitted that was not previously an organized U.S. territory or part of an existing U.S. state. The main reason that the usual territorial period was bypassed in the case of California was the gold rush that started there in 1849. It's because it started in 1849 that the huge number of people who migrated to California at that time to try to get some of that gold for themselves were called 49ers.
