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之后的又一位總統。1852年尋求輝格黨提名，但是敗給了Winfield Scott。四年后，卷土重來。作為總統，Fillmore處理輝格黨的黨派紛爭；黨派和諧成為他的首要目標。他嘗試通過指出輝格黨和民主黨（通過計劃關稅改革來對民主黨進行負面影響）的區別來團結黨派。另一個Fillmore的主要目標就是防止協會奴隸爭論激烈化。
