Millard Fillmore

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.

Oh yes he wazzz!

H. L. Mencken wrote a hoax column in 1917, about how Millard Fillmore's only great achievement was adding a plumbed bathtub to the White House. The entire story was a hoax.

The story found its way into encyclopedias, histories of the bathtub, and political lore.

"Millard Fillmore's bathtub" refers to a story many claim to be true, which is not; or it refers to a hoax gone wrong when people believe it as fact rather than as humor.

See the blog site, Millard Fillmore's Bathtub, for more examples.
