Millard Fillmore: Constructive Statesman, Defender Of The Constitution, President Of The United States is a biography written by William Elliot Griffis. The book provides a comprehensive account of the life and political career of Millard Fillmore, who served as the 13th President of the United States from 1850 to 1853. The book delves into Fillmore's early life, his rise to political prominence, and his presidency, which was marked by several significant events, including the Compromise of 1850, the Fugitive Slave Act, and the opening of Japan to the West. Griffis portrays Fillmore as a constructive statesman who was deeply committed to upholding the Constitution and preserving the Union. He argues that Fillmore's presidency was marked by a series of pragmatic decisions that helped to defuse tensions between North and South and laid the groundwork for the eventual abolition of slavery. The book also explores Fillmore's personal life, including his marriage to Abigail Fillmore, his religious beliefs, and his hobbies and interests. Overall, Millard Fillmore: Constructive Statesman, Defender Of The Constitution, President Of The United States provides a detailed and insightful look at one of America's lesser-known presidents and his contributions to the country's history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
