Scott 818

Issued 22nd Sep 1938. Rotary Press Printed on unwatermarked paper and perf 11:10½. This stamp features Millard Fillmore (7th Jan 1800 - 8th Mar 1874), the 13th President of the USA (9th Jul 1850 - 4th Mar 1853).

Millard Fillmore was the 13th president of the United States (1850–1853), the last to be a member of the Whig Party while in the White House. A former U.S. representative from New York, Fillmore was elected the nation's 12th vice president in 1848, and succeeded to the presidency in July 1850 upon the death of President Zachary Taylor. He was instrumental in the passing of the Compromise of 1850, a bargain that led to a brief truce in the battle over slavery. He failed to win the Whig nomination for president in 1852, but he gained the endorsement of the nativist Know Nothing Party four years later, finishing third in the 1856 presidential election.
