Today's Moment to Remember
... which U.S. President am I? ...
... which U.S. President am I? ...
OTD (On this date), January 7, in 1800, I was born in a log cabin
I had a mythical "rags to riches" life - from teaching myself to read and write while living in remote, rural upper state New York to starting my own law firm by age 23
I was nicknamed the "Last of the Whigs"
[ The house that I helped build a couple years after opening my own law practice in NY ]
I did not have a VP because I succeeded Zachary Taylor, who died suddenly of a stomach disease, as President
I served as our 13th U.S. President from 1850-53
I did not have a VP because I succeeded Zachary Taylor, who died suddenly of a stomach disease, as President
I served as our 13th U.S. President from 1850-53
I signed some bills (laws) that became known as the 'Compromise of 1850' - leading to a brief truce between the North and South in the battle over slavery
Do you know which U.S. President I am?
Here's one last hint.
My first name is "Millard"
Yes, I am / was Millard Fillmore,
the 13th President of the United States from 1850-53
