Millard Fillmore's Administration, 1850-1853.
John Charles FremontJohn Charles Frémont led two major expeditions into the West and Far West which resulted in maps of areas never before mapped. He also took part in the "Bear Flag Revolt" in California, ran for President in 1856, and served as a Major General in the Civil War. An Overview of Fillmore's AdministrationAn Overview of Fillmore's Administration During his 32 months in office, Fillmore's most important action was his approval of the Compromise of 1850, a series of laws that helped delay the Civil War for more than 10 years. His faithful enforcement of the Compromise, including its provision for the return of runaway slaves, however, lost him the support of most Northerners, and he was not nominated for a full term as President in 1852.
