Millard Fillmore served as the 13th president of the US, between the years of 1850 to 1853. He was the last member of the Whig Party while still being in the White House. Before his presidency, he also worked as a US Representative from the state of New York. He was then elected as the country's 12th vice president back in the year 1848.
He got elevated to the rank of president after the death of US president Zachary Taylor. He was one of the most instrumental figures to get the "Compromise of 1850" to be passed, which was a type of bargain that led to a short-lived truce in the battle over slavery in the US. However, he failed to win the Whig Party nomination for president during the vote of 1852.
