Millard Fillmore is one of those obscure presidents nobody really remembers. He is responsible for the Compromise of 1850 that basically compromised on the issue of slavery. He was adamantly opposed to slavery, but the south was already planning to secede at this time. He’s also responsible for the Fugitive Slave Act and admitting California to the nation.
