Millard Fillmore

Millard Fillmore married his teacher, Abigail Powers. She was two years older than he.

Millard Filmore was the 13th man to hold the office of President of the United States, and the last member of the Whig Party to be president. He was not elected president, he was elected Zachary Taylor's Vice President and became President when Taylor died.

Millard Fillmore (born January 7, 1800 in Summerhill, New York; died March 8, 1874 in Buffalo, New York) served as the 12th Vice-President of the United States between March 4, 1849 and July 9, 1850, and the thirteenth President of the United Statesbetween the death of his predecessor Zachary Taylor on July 9, 1850 and March 4, 1853.

Millard Fillmore did not have a Vice-President. He became President after the death of Zachary Taylor. There was apparently no one to fill Fillmore's Vice-Presidental shoes.

It pays to pay attention in school kids.

He served less than one term- he finished out Taylor's term but was not nominated for a term of his own.

His daughter Mary Abigail who was 18 when he took office was with him and served as a hostess at the White House when Mrs. Fillmore was ill, as was often the case.

There seems to be some confusion. The ball point pen wasn't first invented until 1888, by John J. Loud, which was fourteen years after Fillmore's death.

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. This never transpired because on July 9, 1850, Taylor died suddenly and Fillmore was sworn in as president.

Dealing with the disputes over slavery - whether to allow slavery in the new states and what to do about returning fugitive slaves. He pushed forward the Compromise of 1850 which was not successful and satisfied nobody.

President Millard Fillmore sent a naval expedition to Japan to attempt to have diplomatic and commercial treaties signed. The treaties purpose were to open Japan up to the Western world

Fillmore pushed forward the Compromise of 1850 , which like most compromises, pleased nobody but staved off civil war for 10 years. Fillmore is one of only four US president who were never elected to be President. He was not able to get his party's nomination for a second term so he must have lacked something. On the other hand, he was honest and had no obvious faults as a politician and public servant. Few would place him higher than the lower 20% of presidents.

Millard Fillmore was born on January 7, 1800. He was never inaugurated as President, only as Vice President -- at the age of 49 on March 4, 1849.

Fillmore became President when Zachary Taylor died on July 9, 1850.

Modern presidential dollar coins are each worth one dollar.

He was a teacher at first, then a lawyer and finally a political official, serving in the state house, the US Congress and the comptroller of NY state.

If underneath his portrait is says "In God We Trust 13th President" it is a Fillmore dollar, part of the Presidential Dollars series, and it is worth one dollar. If it just says "Millard Fillmore 1853" (the last year of his presidency) is is a commemorative trinket, and essentially worthless.

Millard Fillmore is the 13th President of the United States. His major failures, according to some historians, are: signing of the Fugitive Slave Act into Law and by not providing a strong leadership for the Whig Party.

i read in this nonfiction book that he wanted to stop slavery

Yes, he did- it was not completely successful but it did stave off the Civil War for awhile.

His wife died soon after he left office. He made a long tour of the South and Midwest, then went to Europe for over a year. While he was in Europe, in 1855, he was nominated for President by the American (Know-nothing) party. He accepted the nomination and came back to campaign. He won 21% of the vote and carried one state, Maryland. He remarried two year later to a wealthy widow in Buffalo and was active in civic affairs in Buffalo. He died in 1874.

Millard Fillmore was Vice President to President Zachary Taylor and assumed the Presidency upon the death Zachary Taylor who died of what is thought to be acute gastroenteritis or hyperthermia (heat stroke).

Millard Fillmore did not have a Vice President. Fillmore was elected as Vice President with Zachary Taylor as President, and became President of the United States when Taylor died in office on July 9, 1850 of an unknown digestive ailment.In those days a vacancy in the office of VP remained unfilled until the next presidential election. Fillmore vacated the Vice Presidency to become president. In those days, a vacancy in the vice presidency was not filled until the next presidential election. The 25th Amendment to the Constitution was not passed until 1967.

He was not given a middle name. This was not an uncommon practice in his age.
