Millard Fillmore

No. In fact, he was not able to get his party's nomination to run for another term, eventually losing out to Winfield Scott.

Millard Fillmore had one hobby, which was collecting books.

Millard Fillmore, 13th President of the United States, was born on Tuesday, January 7, 1800 in Summerhill, New York. At the time it was called Locke Township. Of all who became U.S. President, he was 14th and last to be born in the 18th century.

He never attended college.

President Fillmore wanted the Japanese to have better treatment of the sailors ship wrecked on the Japanese Islands and to have foreign relations with the US and Japan.

Millard Fillmore was elected the nation's 12th Vice President in 1848 as the running mate of Zachery Taylor. Zachery Taylor won the 1848 presidential election defeating Lewis Cass. In the 1848 presidential election Zachery Taylor and his running mate Millard Fillmore received 163 electoral votes. Lewis Cass and his running mate received 127 electoral votes. The popular vote totals were Zachery Taylor and his running mate Millard Fillmore 1,361,393 and Lewis Cass and his running mate 1,223,460.

Millard Fillmore succeeded to the presidency upon the death of Zachary Taylor.

Fillmore ran for President in 1856 for the American(aka Know-Party) and won 21.6 % of the popular vote. He was touring Europe when he was nominated and I don't think he knew that he was under consideration for the nomination. When he was notified that he had been nominated, he accepted. He was no doubt flattered that he was still remembered and the nomination was a kind of vindication from his slight by the Whigs in 1848 when they refused to run him for a second term.

Though he was born into a very poor family, Millard Fillmore struggled for an education and even got a teaching job though he never attended college. He also taught himself enoungh about the law to join the bar at the age of 23. He served in Congress for four terms when the Whigs made him Zachary Taylor;s running mate. As President, Millard Fillmore delayed the Civil War by a decade by signing the Compromise of 1850. In 1856 he ran for the presidency as a member of the Know Nothing Party. He wanted to unite the country behind anti-Catholicism and nativism, but he carried only Maryland.

Fillmore was a Whig when he was elected vice-president. He was the last Whig to

be President. Later he ran as the candidate for the American (aka Know-Nothing) party.

Abigail Fillmore was born on March 13, 1798.

He signed the Compromise of 1850 which kept America from a civil war for a decade. He also added California to the Union as a free state. Millard Fillmore unfortunately enacted the Slave Act which denied slaves the right to a trial.

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.
