Zachary Taylor

1784–1850

View full profile →

Zachary Taylor (1784–1850) was the 12th President of the United States, a career military officer known as 'Old Rough and Ready' for his unpretentious demeanor and battlefield successes in the War of 1812, the Black Hawk War, and the Mexican-American War. His brief presidency (1849–1850) was marked by his firm opposition to the expansion of slavery into newly acquired territories, a stance that intensified sectional tensions before his sudden death in office.
