Rutherford B. Hayes
The 19th President of the United States was a Republican who served from 1877 to 1881. Apparently, prominent author Mark Twain was a supporter of his. He was the Ohio governor for three terms before he took over the presidency. He was yet another member of the Whig party. Among other things, he supported the civil rights movement, though the opposition blocked his efforts. He also wanted to ensure fairness in the government and advocated for merit-based applications. Hayes is also credited for developing the Pendleton Act.

Zachary Taylor
The 12th President of the United States Zachary “Old Rough and Ready” Taylor is best known for his short time in office. Before embarking on a political career, he was considered a war hero. He earned his nickname for his leadership skills while he was in the military. He was another leader hailing from the Whig Party. He paid a lot of attention to the slavery debate, reportedly leaning towards the side of the abolitionists despite being a slave-owner. He also encouraged New Mexico and California to join the union. Sadly, he died on July 9, 1850 after a bout with cholera.
