Zachary Taylor Free Frank Signature
Zachary Taylor was the twelfth U.S. president who served between March 1849 and July 1850. He was raised in Virginia on a tobacco plantation and came from a long lineage of planters. Prior to becoming president he served in the army for four decades and led troops in the commanding troops in the War of 1812, the Black Hawk War, and the second of the Seminole Wars. He later became a bonafide war hero through his service in the Mexican War.
As president Taylor’s main focus was to keep the Union together. The prominent issues during his presidency revolved around slavery and the addition of new territories in the west. Taylor didn’t promote the expansion of slavery and as he tried to avoid it he encouraged settlers in New Mexico and California to circumvent the territorial stage and draft constitutions for statehood. Taylor passed away after 16 months in office due to gastroenteritis. Taylor’s son served as a general in the Confederate Army during Civil War.
