Millard Fillmore: A presidential portrait

Mo Rocca travels to Buffalo, N.Y., home of America's 13th president Millard Fillmore, to take a closer look at one of the country's least-remembered commander-in-chiefs.

'He lowered the price of the postage stamp' oh wow lets put him on moumt rushmore then

[miaouew]

Someone escaped from Cuba just to see the Fillmore house.

"Someone escaped from Cuba to visit the Millard Fillmore house?"
"It was on his bucket- list. "

Too funny.

"I'm a Fillmore groupie"


*Mo Rocca just stares*

[ghostiegoober]

“You wrote a book about Millard Fillmore”

“Yes”

“WHY!?!”

[antiguanetwork]

He lowered the price of the postage stamp, folks. A remarkable achievement. This qualifies as greatest US President ever.

Millard Fillmore also:
- appointed Brigham Young as the first governor of Utah
- was called the most handsome man she's ever met by queen Victoria
- prevented France (under Napoleon III) from annexing Hawaii

This was hilarious. Thank you to the people of buffalo for being so upbeat and having a sense of humor about this

Strange how they don't mention Fillmore sending Commodore Perry to Japan.  Most Americans at the time wouldn't have cared about it, but it was one of the more important events in Japanese history.

"He played a prominent part in the Civil War." So did Jefferson Davis.

3:50 lmao I love the honesty of that historian.

[cellophanity]

His Alec Baldwin impersonation is spot on.

When I had an Asian history as a subject when I was a sophomore in high school, the only mention of Millard Fillmore is he was the one responsible for opening up of Japan after 200 years of isolation, by way of Commodore Matthew Perry.

Millard FIlmore was good with his hands?? that is what Abigail Fillmore said!

[kareemr]

I’m watching this because I have a school project about him😂😂

[millardfillmore]

Hello, hope you did a good biography on me!

[bscherer]

Mo Rocca's transformation from fake journalist to real journalist is amazing. Even in serious reporting, we need a little hunor. Well done, Mo.

"He played just as big a role in the Civil War as Lincoln, just not as prominent" So he didn't play as big a role then...

[missyrose]

My dog and I visited the house today . Just saw the outside of the house but it was neat to be on the same property a president once lived

[MrHalohunter]

"Millard, do you mind?"

"Naw fam, we cool"
