Zachary Taylor
Zachary “Old Rough and Ready” was the 12th President of the United States and he is mostly known for his brief time in office. He was considered a war hero thanks to the same leadership skills that got him the moniker. He also came from the Whig Party and he expressed anti-slavery opinions despite the fact that he was also a slave owner. He encouraged New Mexico and California to join the union. Sadly, he died of cholera on July 9, 1850, and this cut his term short.
