Millard Fillmore: The American Presidents Series: The 13th President, 1850-1853The oddly named president whose shortsightedness and stubbornness fractured the nation and sowed the seeds of civil war In the summer of 1850, America was at a terrible crossroads. Congress was in an uproar over slavery, and it was not clear if a compromise could be found. In the midst of the debate, President Zachary Taylor suddenly took ill and died. The presidency, and the crisis, now fell to the little known vice president from upstate New York.

The oddly named president whose shortsightedness and stubbornness fractured the nation and sowed the seeds of civil war

In the summer of 1850, America was at a terrible crossroads. Congress was in an uproar over slavery, and it was not clear if a compromise could be found. In the midst of the debate, President Zachary Taylor suddenly took ill and died. The presidency, and the crisis, now fell to the little-known vice president from upstate New York.

In this eye-opening biography, the legal scholar and historian Paul Finkelman reveals how Millard Fillmore's response to the crisis he inherited set the country on a dangerous path that led to the Civil War. He shows how Fillmore stubbornly catered to the South, alienating his fellow Northerners and creating a fatal rift in the Whig Party, which would soon disappear from American politics--as would Fillmore himself, after failing to regain the White House under the banner of the anti-immigrant and anti-Catholic "Know Nothing" Party.

Though Fillmore did have an eye toward the future, dispatching Commodore Matthew Perry on the famous voyage that opened Japan to the West and on the central issues of the age--immigration, religious toleration, and most of all slavery--his myopic vision led to the destruction of his presidency, his party, and ultimately, the Union itself.

Works for me
Color: Picotonic Shot
My skin loves this stuff. I haven’t had a pimple since I started using it and my skin looks more even and it’s fading red spots. I highly recommend giving it a try!

A bit sticky but tolerable
Color: Picotonic Shot
I have both Dr. Melaxin peel shots in black and white rice and saw immediate improvement in the removal of tiny blackheads trapped in tight pores on my nose and around my lip line. It might honestly not get in very deep but it at least helped my skin, everyone is different. I thought my face could never be that improved by anything other than squeezing the crap out of my face and still getting nowhere. So I thought I'd try more of the product line. With this particular product I'm still too new to judge much but on my particular skin it is a bit sticky so I'll use it at night. I wash with the Dr. Melaxin Melting Cleaser, the Cactus toner, then the Dr.Melaxin Cemenrete Cyano Pink Spicule Serum and then this product. I'm 57, I don't have acne issues but I do have a few hyperpigmentation spots if like to fade out a bit if possible and just improve the overall cleanliness and look of my skin. Nothing is a miracle but it's been a noticable improvement so far. I give it 4 stars primarily due to it being kind of sticky on me. One drop goes a long way FYI.

It works!
Color: Picotonic Shot
Love this product!!! I have been using it about 10 days now, and the brown aid spots on my face are down by half, I am absolutely amazed! I did not take before and after pictures, just because I was waiting for it to work on the wrinkles, I had no idea it would work on the brown spots!! Highly recommend this product!!
