6. Millard Fillmore,969 Days

In Office: July 9, 1850 —March 4, 1853

在位：1850年7月9日——1853年3月4日

Served the remainder of Taylor's term. Sought the Whig nomination in 1852, but lost to Winfield Scott. Four years later, ran again (as a Know Nothing) and came in third. As president, Fillmore dealt with increasing party divisions within the Whig party; party harmony became one of his primary objectives. He tried to unite the party by pointing out the differences between the Whigs and the Democrats (by proposing tariff reforms that negatively reflected on the Democratic Party). Another primary objective of Fillmore was to preserve the Union from the intensifying slavery debate.

Taylor之后的又一位总统。1852年寻求辉格党提名，但是败给了Winfield Scott。四年后，卷土重来。作为总统，Fillmore处理辉格党的党派纷争；党派和谐成为他的首要目标。他尝试通过指出辉格党和民主党（通过计划关税改革来对民主党进行负面影响）的区别来团结党派。另一个Fillmore的主要目标就是防止协会奴隶争论激烈化。
