Let's learn a little bit about the presidents while geocaching.
13th President of the United States
July 9, 1850 – March 4, 1853
After Taylor died suddenly on July 9, 1850, Fillmore became president. The change in leadership also signaled an abrupt political shift. Fillmore had very different views on the slavery issue. Douglas presented five separate bills to the Senate:
Admit California as a free state.
Settle the Texas boundary and compensate the state for lost lands.
Grant territorial status to New Mexico.
Place federal officers at the disposal of slaveholders seeking escapees—the Fugitive Slave Act.
Abolish the slave trade, but not slavery, in the District of Columbia.
Fillmore, a bookworm, started the White House library when he found the White House devoid of books.
