Millard Fillmore: The American Presidents Series: The 13th President, 1850-1853The oddly named president whose shortsightedness and stubbornness fractured the nation and sowed the seeds of civil war In the summer of 1850, America was at a terrible crossroads. Congress was in an uproar over slavery, and it was not clear if a compromise could be found. In the midst of the debate, President Zachary Taylor suddenly took ill and died. The presidency, and the crisis, now fell to the little known vice president from upstate New York.

The oddly named president whose shortsightedness and stubbornness fractured the nation and sowed the seeds of civil war

In the summer of 1850, America was at a terrible crossroads. Congress was in an uproar over slavery, and it was not clear if a compromise could be found. In the midst of the debate, President Zachary Taylor suddenly took ill and died. The presidency, and the crisis, now fell to the little-known vice president from upstate New York.

In this eye-opening biography, the legal scholar and historian Paul Finkelman reveals how Millard Fillmore's response to the crisis he inherited set the country on a dangerous path that led to the Civil War. He shows how Fillmore stubbornly catered to the South, alienating his fellow Northerners and creating a fatal rift in the Whig Party, which would soon disappear from American politics--as would Fillmore himself, after failing to regain the White House under the banner of the anti-immigrant and anti-Catholic "Know Nothing" Party.

Though Fillmore did have an eye toward the future, dispatching Commodore Matthew Perry on the famous voyage that opened Japan to the West and on the central issues of the age--immigration, religious toleration, and most of all slavery--his myopic vision led to the destruction of his presidency, his party, and ultimately, the Union itself.

Beef Tallow Sunscreen Stick (Kid-Friendly)
Our family absolutely loves this beef tallow sunscreen stick! It’s become a must-have for park days, sports, vacations, and everyday outdoor activities. The stick format makes application quick and easy, especially when applying sunscreen to active kids who don’t like standing still. The formula glides on smoothly and feels moisturizing without being greasy. I love that it’s made with simple, skin-friendly ingredients and mineral sun protection, making it gentle enough for sensitive skin. My kids haven’t experienced any irritation, and it helps keep their skin soft and protected even during long days outside. One of the biggest benefits is how convenient it is to reapply. The stick fits easily in a backpack, diaper bag, or purse, and there’s no messy lotion to spill. It works great on faces, noses, ears, and shoulders, which are often the areas most exposed to the sun. Why We Love It: - Kid-friendly and easy to apply - Gentle on sensitive skin - Moisturizing with nourishing beef tallow - Convenient, mess-free stick format - Great for outdoor adventures and travel - Mineral-based sun protection Overall, this sunscreen stick provides reliable protection while keeping skin moisturized and comfortable. It’s a fantastic option for families looking for a simple, natural, and kid-friendly sunscreen that makes sun protection easy for everyone. Highly recommended!

Obsessed with this sunscreen stick!
Just got this Beef Tallow Sunscreen Stick and I'm honestly really impressed! I wasn't sure what to expect since I've never used a tallow based sunscreen before, but it feels so nice on my skin. It glides on super smoothly, doesn't leave a weird sticky feeling, and makes my skin feel moisturized instead of dry like some sunscreens do. I also love how easy it is to throw in my bag and just reapply throughout my day. The ingredients are a huge plus for me too ofc! I like that it's made with beef tallow, honey, and beeswax instead of a bunch of stuff I can't pronounce. I've worn it outside for a few hours already and it held up great. No irritation, no white cast, and my skin felt really soft afterward. Definitely happy with this purchase and I'll be keeping it in my daily routine. Highly recommend if you're looking for a more natural sunscreen option!

Good but very small
The texture is smooth and it smells nice. Definitely way smaller than I was expecting.
