DOWNLOAD EBOOK →The complete addresses of Millard Fillmore (1800-1874), who was the thirteenth President of the United States, serving from 1850 until 1853, and the last member of the Whig Party to hold that office. He succeeded from the Vice Presidency on the death of President Zachary Taylor, becoming the second U.S. President to assume the office in this manner. Fillmore was never elected President in his own right; after serving out Taylor's term he was not nominated for the Presidency by the Whigs in the 1852 Presidential election, and in the 1856 Presidential election he again failed to win election as President as the Know Nothing Party and Whig candidate. Fillmore was born in poverty in Summerhill, New York as the second of nine children and the eldest son. He struggled to obtain an education under frontier conditions, attending New Hope Academy for six months. Fillmore supported slavery in the new western territories taken from Mexico in the Mexican-American War. In his own words: "God knows that I detest slavery, but it is an existing evil ... and we must endure it and give it such protection as is guaranteed by the Constitution."

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →John Tyler, Jr. (1790-1862) was the tenth President of the United States. He served as a captain of a volunteer military company in 1813 and was later a member of the council of state in 1816. He was drawn into the newlyorganized Whig Party, and was elected Vice President in 1840. Tyler's Presidency was rarely taken seriously in his time. He was usually referred to as the "Acting President" or "His Accidency" by opponents. Further, Tyler quickly found himself at odds with his former political supporters. Tyler had long been an advocate of states' rights, believing that the question of a state's "free" or "slave" status ought to be decided at the state level, with no input from federal government. After his presidential career Tyler became a delegate to and president of the peace convention held in Washington, D.C. as an effort to devise means to prevent the impending war. Throughout Tyler's life, he suffered from poor health. Frequent colds occurred every winter as he aged till he died in Richmond, 1862.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Theodore Roosevelt, Jr. (1858-1919), also known as T. R., and to the public (but never to friends and intimates) as Teddy, was the twenty-sixth President of the United States, and a leader of the Republican Party and of the Progressive Movement. He became the youngest President in United States history at the age of 42. He served in many roles including Governor of New York, historian, naturalist, explorer, author, and soldier. Roosevelt is most famous for his personality: his energy, his vast range of interests and achievements, his model of masculinity, and his "cowboy" persona. He was the first American to be awarded the Nobel Prize, winning its Peace Prize in 1906, for negotiating the peace in the Russo-Japanese War. His The Naval War of 1812 (1882) was the standard history for two generations and his major achievement was a four-volume history of the frontier, The Winning of the West (1889-1896). His other works include Hero Tales from American History (1895), The Rough Riders (1899) and Hunting the Grisly and Other Sketches (1904).

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →The State of the Union Adresses of Martin Van Buren (1782-1862), nicknamed Old Kinderhook, who was the eighth President of the United States from 1837 to 1841. Before his presidency he served as the eighth Vice President (1833-1837) and the 10th Secretary of State under Andrew Jackson. He was a key organizer of the Democratic Party, a dominant figure in the Second Party System, and the first president who was not of English, Irish, Welsh, or Scottish descent. He was the first President who did not experience the American Revolution firsthand. He is also the only president not to have spoken English as a first language, having grown up speaking Dutch. As a President, his administration was largely characterized by the economic hardship of his time, the Panic of 1837. Between the bloodless Aroostook War and the Caroline Affair, relations with Britain and its colonies in Canada also proved to be strained. Whether or not these are directly his fault, he was voted out of office after four years, with a close popular vote but a rout in the electoral vote.
