Millard Fillmore – 149
Millard Fillmore, the last president to be associated with the Whig party, was born into a low-income family, but got a good enough education to be vice president and then president. After Zachary Taylor died of cholera in 1850, Fillmore became the 13th president. When Fillmore became president, every member of the cabinet resigned, so he had to get a whole new one. He created the 1850 Compromise in hopes of dissolving some of the tensions between the north and south, but it didn’t work as he’d hoped. He was the first president to successfully communicate with Japan, as they were not speaking with many other countries at this time.
