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.

The North Bondi is nasty waste of money.
Scent: North Bondi, Size: 0.34 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Scent: North Bondi, Size: 0.34 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I thought it smelled fresh or clean, but it smells like bad breath, and sun cream. At first it smells floral but then fades. I don’t like it so all.

NEEDDDDDDDDDD
Scent: North Bondi, Size: 0.34 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Bought the OUAI leave in conditioner and LOVED the smell. This smells the exact same and I get the most compliments! I don't think the scent last all day but still worth the buy. Easy to spray, doesn't leak, good size bottle.
