Book excerpt: Excerpt from Millard Fillmore Papers, Vol. 2 The Southern tour, as the reader knows, was postponed until the following year. Then, although Mr. Kennedy urged Mr. Irving to join the party. The jaunt had little attraction for the aged author. I have no inclination, he wrote with characteristic pleasantry, to travel with political notorieties, to be smothered by the clouds of party dust whirled up by their chariot-wheels, and beset by the speech-makers and little great men and bores of every community who might consider Mr. Fillmore a candidate for another presi dential term. To Mrs. Kennedy he wrote (feb. 21, Heaven preserve me from any tour of the kind! To have to listen to the speeches that would be made, at dinners and other occasions, to Mr. Fillmore and himself [mr. Kennedy]; and to the speeches that Mr. Fillmore and he would make in return! I would as lief go campaigning with Hudibras or Don Quixote. To Mrs. Kennedy Mr. Irving could write with all the playfulness of a fond father. His allusion to Mrs. Fillmore, above quoted, was very likely a true surmise as to the origin of her fatal illness. Mr. Fillmore was much criticized for his participation in the Southern Commercial Convention of 1869, over which he presided. He was beyond doubt absolutely free from political aspirations in connection therewith. One outcome of this convention, which may be assumed as of advantage to our country, was the work of a com mission, appointed by Mr. Fillmore, which visited the great Russian fairs at St. Petersburg and Novgorod, and also the chief commercial cities of Europe, for the purpose of attracting immigration, and capital, to the South and West.

Book excerpt: 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.

Download or read book Millard Fillmore Biography Of A President written by Robert J. Rayback and published by Pickle Partners Publishing. This book was released on 2015-11-06 with total page 750 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Professor Robert J. Rayback’s history of Millard Fillmore is still the best biography of the 13th President of the United States. In one of the many unexplained, unfortunate quirks of history, most of the official papers of Fillmore’s administration were destroyed by his son. Scholars have consequently been denied the source material which is so essential to examining and gaining insight into the underlying truth of a Presidency. Regarding Fillmore, the few records that do survive can only be compiled piecemeal, a laborious task which few have had the stamina to undertake. Thus is the historical importance of Robert J. Rayback’s authoritative biography, which gives documented substance to Fillmore and his three years in office. Thoughtful and objective, Rayback’s balanced portrayal lauds Fillmore’s astuteness, as in sending Matthew Perry to open Japan to trade, and assays his faults, such as agreeing to run on the “Know Nothing” ticket in 1856. We see, as John Lord O’Brian, former regent of the University of the State of New York noted, “a devoted patriot who in all activities sought guidance from his own conscience during the critical events of the mid-nineteenth century.” Julius Pratt of the University of Buffalo concludes from the book that “without Fillmore there could have been no Lincoln.”-Print ed.
