I Millard V<\/h1>\nI Millard V<\/h1>\nAs a fifteen-year-old apprentice, Millard Fillmore was so enflamed by the threat of an unjust master to whip him in that the lad stood upon the log he had been chopping and raised his axe. \u201cYou will not chastise me,\u201d young Millard warned, \u201cIf you approach me, I will split you down.\u201d Thirty-five years later, as the 13th President of the United States, Millard Fillmore would sign into law \u2013 and zealously enforce \u2013 the Fugitive Slave Act, arguably the cruelest and unjust piece of legislation ever enacted in the United States.<\/p>\n
I Millard V<\/strong> directly addresses the very problematical legacy of Buffalo\u2019s most eminent early historical personage, and reckons with his lamentable compromise with slavery. But what if a young Millard were to take on the responsibilities of high office with a youth\u2019s sense of justice and fairness, instead of as a jaded lawyer? How might he act with the benefit of historical hindsight? What if he had a second \u2013 or fifth \u2013 chance to get it right?<\/p>\n THE AUTHOR<\/a> ORDER A COPY NOW<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I Millard V As a fifteen-year-old apprentice, Millard Fillmore was so enflamed by the threat of an unjust master to whip him in that the lad stood upon the log he had been chopping and raised his axe. \u201cYou will not chastise me,\u201d young Millard warned, \u201cIf you approach me, I will split you down.\u201d<\/p>\n
