He was one of four Presidents born in New York State. He was also one of six Presidents born in a log cabin. Fillmore married his teacher, Abigail Powers, who was 2 years older than her husband. Abigail arranged for the purchase of the first cooking stove in the White House. But the cook couldn't figure out how to work the stove, so the president went to the U.S. Patent Office, read the patent for the stove, and went back to the White House and taught the cook how to use it. Abigail also set up the first White House library and had the first bathtub installed. Until he was 17, he had read little besides the Bible. He was in the military, but saw no action. Millard was a founding member of the Buffalo Chapter of he American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. He belonged to the Whig Political Party. Millard Fillmore was Vice President under Zachary Taylor.

MILLARD FILLMORE U.S. President Millard Fillmore came from poor, uneducated beginnings to become a New York lawyer who in 1833 was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives. After serving in congress, Fillmore, a Whig, was Zachary Taylor's vice president. When Taylor died in office, Fillmore became President. His attempts to compromise on the slavery issue left him with few fans on either side, and his stay in the White House was brief. In the election of 1852 Fillmore failed to get the nomination at the Whig convention (the candidate from the Democratic Party, Franklin Pierce , went on to win the election). In the election of 1856 Fillmore ran for president as a candidate of the Know-Nothing Party, but carried only Maryland. Extra credit : Fillmore married his schoolteacher, Abigail; she died a month after he left office and in 1858 he married a wealthy widow, Mrs. Caroline C. McIntosh... After President Lincoln 's assassination, a mob, unforgiving of Fillmore's sympathy for the South, surrounded his house and draped it in black cloth, then splashed ink on it.

This office was second in power after the governor's and supervised public finances and superintended the banks. Fillmore defeated his Democratic opponent by 30,000 votes, the largest margin ever gained by any Whig over a Democrat in New York. The victory established Fillmore as a vote getter and put him in competition with former Governor William Henry Seward for the position of New York's leading Whig.

Born in the Finger Lakes country of New York in 1800, Fillmore as a youth endured the privations of frontier life. He worked on his father's farm, and at 15 was apprenticed to a cloth dresser. He attended one-room schools, and fell in love with the redheaded teacher, Abigail Powers, who later became his wife. In 1823 he was admitted to the bar; seven years later he moved his law practice to Buffalo. As an associate of the Whig politician Thurlow Weed, Fillmore held state office and for eight years was a member of the House of Representatives. In 1848, while Comptroller of New York, he was elected Vice President.

Fillmore strongly supported the separation of church and state. In the early 1830s, he labored to overturn the New York test law that required all witnesses in New York courts to swear an oath affirming their belief in God and the hereafter. Among other actions, Fillmore wrote a series of public letters opposing the the test law.

He was the 13th US President and only the second man to become president without being elected. Political Party: Whig Years Served: 4 March 1849 – 9 July 1850 Vice President(s): Name of his parents: Nathaniel Fillmore and Phoebe Millard Wife’s name: Abigail Powers (1798-1853), on February 5, 1826; Caroline Carmichael McIntosh (1813-1881), on February 10, 1858 Yearly Salary as President: $25,000.00 Physical Stature: 5 feet, 9 inches State of Birth: New York “Millard Fillmore was the second man to become president without being elected. He succeeded Zachary Taylor who died in office. From the log cabin of his birth, Fillmore set out to be a farmer. Later, he decided to be a tailor. Fillmore didn’t learn to read until he was an adult. A woman named Abigail Powers taught him to read and in 1826 he married her. She helped him to become a lawyer. Perhaps because he learned to read as an adult, Fillmore especially loved books. He built a permanent library in the White House.” On Line Lesson Plans: Millard Fillmore from TeacherVision Millard Fillmore from DiscoverySchool.com

Go back to links to portraits of vice presidents. Served as president from 1850 to 1853 Millard Fillmore (1800-1874), the second vice president of the United States to inherit the nation's highest office, became president when Zachary Taylor died. During Fillmore's 32 months in office as president, his most important action was his approval of the Compromise of 1850. This series of laws helped delay the Civil War for more than 10 years. A self-made man, Fillmore had been a poor boy who was once a clothmaker's apprentice. He studied law, then won election to the New York state legislature and to Congress. He became known nationally only after the Whig Party chose him to be Taylor's vice presidential running mate in 1848. Filmore's presidency As vice president, Fillmore presided coolly over the heated Senate debates between slavery and antislavery forces. The Compromise of 1850, which he helped achieve, had been opposed by President Taylor because of its concessions to the South. But when Taylor died, Fillmore urged passage of the compromise and quickly signed it into law. Fillmore personally did not approve of slavery. But he loved the Union and preferred compromise to the risk of war.

Our steamships can go from California to Japan in eighteen days. Our great State of California produces about sixty millions of dollars in gold every year, besides silver, quicksilver, precious stones, and many other valuable articles.

This made Polk the first president to run the country extending from the Atlantic Ocean all the way to the Pacific Ocean. It was during President Polk’s term in 1845 that the abolitionist and escaped slave Frederick Douglass wrote his autobiography, endangering his own freedom by doing so. President Polk believed that the United States had a "manifest destiny" to expand. His attempts to gain more of Texas, New Mexico, and California led to the Mexican War. The invention of the revolver by Samuel Colt helped the U.S. to win this war and gain five hundred thousand square miles of land. Polk had promised to serve only one term in office.

Home Millard Fillmore, 12th Vice President (1849-1850) I know how difficult it is to determine what is and what is not in order, to restrain improper language, and yet not abridge the freedom of debate. But all must see how important it is that the first departure from the strict rule of parliamentary decorum be checked, as a slight attack, or even insinuation of a personal character, often provokes a more severe retort, which brings out a more disorderly reply, each Senator feeling a justification in the previous aggression. There is, therefore, no point so proper to interpose for the preservation of order as to check the first violation of it. The new vice president needed a clerk. Millard Fillmore suffered from an eye disorder that limited his ability to read by candlelight, yet his official duties kept him so busy during the daytime that he had to put off reading and preparing his correspondence until evening. A clerk would be most useful. When Fillmore's immediate predecessor, George Dallas , took office in 1845, no funding was provided for a vice-presidential clerk because there had been no vice president since 1841, when John Tyler had succeeded to the presidency after the death of William Henry Harrison. Senator Willie Mangum (W-NC), who had fulfilled the office's major constitutional function as Senate

UCLA Center for East Asian Studies Asian Studies Document Letter from U.S. Pres. Millard Fillmore Requesting a Japan - U.S. Agreement In 1853, United States President Millard Fillmore sent Commodore Matthew C. Perry and four large warships to Japan to deliver this letter requesting that the Japanese permit American ships to resupply in Japan, that shipwrecked sailors receive assistance, and that the two countries discuss trade possibilities. The letter does not threaten assault on Japan, though the Tokugawa shogunate certainly understood the eagerness and determination of Western powers to gain access to Asian goods and markets.
