Millard Fillmore became president of the United States in 1850 as a result of the death of the predecessor. He is the 13th president in the general list and the last of the Whig party. Born in 1800 into a poor family of farmers of New York State. Interrupting his studies, in his early years he worked a lot, discovered a serious interest in reading is not extinguished in the course of life. Managed to get a law degree, he practiced law.

His career began to take political direction with the introduction into the protest Anti-Masonic Party - populist and short-lived. Fillmore was seen in political circles, and later was elected to the Legislative Assembly of his state and the US Congress. In 1848, nominated by the Whigs, he took the post of vice-president with the victory of Zachary Taylor. A year later, the unexpected death of the president made him head of state.

A cornerstone of President Fillmore policy is a matter of slavery. To settle their differences on the subject it has signed a code of laws called "Compromise of 1850". The document was designed to reconcile the North and South and to give new rights to the states, but the center was unable to extinguish the conflict. Opponents of slavery helped to ferry slaves to Canada, so high-profile protest and called the law on the search and capture of fugitive slaves. This controversial law gave rise to the birth of the famous novel "Uncle Tom's Cabin."

"Compromise" was the cause of the fall of the president's popularity, and the next election Fillmore was not even nominated. A year later, he was crushed by personal tragedy: one after another lost his wife and only daughter. Fillmore sought solace in travel, then returned to the policy unsuccessfully - in 1856, was soundly defeated in the presidential election. He died in 1874.
