Synopsis

The Biography of Millard Fillmore, written by Ivory Chamberlain, is a comprehensive account of the life and career of the 13th President of the United States. The book delves into Fillmore's early life, his rise to political prominence, and his presidency, which was marked by the controversial Compromise of 1850 and the Fugitive Slave Act. Chamberlain provides insight into Fillmore's personal life, including his marriage to Abigail Powers and their children. The book also explores Fillmore's role as a Whig Party leader and his relationships with other notable figures of the time, such as Daniel Webster and Henry Clay. The author presents a balanced perspective on Fillmore's presidency, examining both his successes and failures. Chamberlain sheds light on the challenges Fillmore faced during his time in office, including the growing tensions between the North and South over slavery. Overall, The Biography of Millard Fillmore is a well-researched and engaging account of one of America's lesser-known presidents. It provides a valuable glimpse into the political and social landscape of the mid-19th century and the complex issues that shaped Fillmore's presidency.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

In the spring of 1853, MILLARD FILLMORE, the subject of the following biographical sketch, retired from the Presidency. Several of our most illustrious statesmen, who, at the commencement of his administration, were master-spirits in the national councils, had been gathered to their fathers. CAL- HOUN, indeed, had been summoned away before the dispensation of Providence which placed a new pilot at the helm of State, and before the portentous storm, then raging, had gathered all its blackness. His last speech in theS enate, read for him by a friend because he was too feeble to deliver it, is pervaded by dark forebodings scarcely relieved by a gleam of hope. His two great compeers, who sympathized in his apprehensions, although they did not share in his despondency, were still spared to the country, and, at the commencement of Mr. FILLMORES administration, were leading members of theS enate. CLAY had, some years before, bid a formal, and, as he supposed, a final farewell to this theater of his labors; but a great and perilous crisis had now summoned him again to the service of his country.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself.
