The Road to Compromise Ends in Ruin –
Zachary Taylor’s death elevated Millard Fillmore to the presidency. His administration was that of compromise. Fillmore was non-committal and sought to straddle the fence.
His tenure in office saw the Great Compromise of 1850 which was supposed to end the slave issue and bring harmony to the nation. Instead, it set the stage for America’s Civil War. Though states’ rights were the real issue of the Civil War, slavery was the issue that had to be dealt with. This booklet
addresses both sides of the slavery issue.
Millard Fillmore finished his first term but was not elected to a second term. Compromise always leads to rejection and ruin.
