Zachary Taylor -The military winner of the Mexican American war, reluctant candidate, became the first President to not have a prior elected office. Urged New Mexico and California to draft state constitutions instead of becoming territories first.

Franklin Pierce,was probably the most tragic and ineffectual President before the current one. He signed both the Kansas-Nebraska Act and the Fugitive Slave Act, which only increased tensions. He also was the first President seeking re-nomination to be rejected by his party. He also was a heavy drinker and lost all 3 of his kids tragically.

Martin Van Buren Pretty complex person. Not fond of abolitionists, he found himself opposing its spread. He was against the immediate annexation of Texas because the slave powers wanted to expand there..He ran as a third party candidate after he was not nominated by his party and got 10% of the vote. He argued that the Founding Fathers favored the eventual abolition of slavery. And on the eve of the Civil War, proposed a constitutional convention for a proposed peace that would end the war.

The United States hasn’t had a Sagittarius President since the beginning of recording media, so no videos here.

Indeed, not since the Civil War even
