Millard Fillmore: The American Presidents Series: The 13th President, 1850-1853The oddly named president whose shortsightedness and stubbornness fractured the nation and sowed the seeds of civil war In the summer of 1850, America was at a terrible crossroads. Congress was in an uproar over slavery, and it was not clear if a compromise could be found. In the midst of the debate, President Zachary Taylor suddenly took ill and died. The presidency, and the crisis, now fell to the little known vice president from upstate New York.

The oddly named president whose shortsightedness and stubbornness fractured the nation and sowed the seeds of civil war

In the summer of 1850, America was at a terrible crossroads. Congress was in an uproar over slavery, and it was not clear if a compromise could be found. In the midst of the debate, President Zachary Taylor suddenly took ill and died. The presidency, and the crisis, now fell to the little-known vice president from upstate New York.

In this eye-opening biography, the legal scholar and historian Paul Finkelman reveals how Millard Fillmore's response to the crisis he inherited set the country on a dangerous path that led to the Civil War. He shows how Fillmore stubbornly catered to the South, alienating his fellow Northerners and creating a fatal rift in the Whig Party, which would soon disappear from American politics--as would Fillmore himself, after failing to regain the White House under the banner of the anti-immigrant and anti-Catholic "Know Nothing" Party.

Though Fillmore did have an eye toward the future, dispatching Commodore Matthew Perry on the famous voyage that opened Japan to the West and on the central issues of the age--immigration, religious toleration, and most of all slavery--his myopic vision led to the destruction of his presidency, his party, and ultimately, the Union itself.

Hawaiian Tropics highly recommended for sensitive skin.
Scent: Island Coconut, Size: 0.35 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Love this product. This is my first summer using it. I was not disappointed. I have super sensitive skin, and can’t use most products. One thing I did notice was a few times I would get a small pimple or blackhead along the lip line. The dermatologist said it was clogged pores, but no reason not to continue using it. I have tried a few other brands and had more breakouts/ blackheads. So I keep going back to Hawaiian Tropics.

This Neutrogena Sport Face Sunscreen SPF 70+ does exactly what you’d want from a high-strength sunscreen. It offers very high sun protection without feeling greasy or heavy on the skin.

Extremely Reliable Sun Protection for Active Days — A Must‑Have for Outdoor Sports
Style: SPF 70, Size: 2.5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Summary: This Neutrogena Sport Face Sunscreen SPF 70+ is powerful, long‑lasting, and perfect for intense outdoor activity. It stays put through sweat and heat, provides excellent protection, and prevents sunburn even under harsh Texas sun. Details: I’ve been using this sunscreen for about a year, and it has become an essential part of my sports routine. Since I play outdoor games in the afternoon, having a dependable sunscreen is non‑negotiable — and this one truly delivers. Even after long hours outside in the Texas heat, I’ve never experienced sunburn while using it. The formula is designed specifically for active lifestyles. It’s sweat‑resistant and water‑resistant for up to 80 minutes, so it doesn’t wear off easily when you’re running, sweating, or wiping your face. Unlike many high‑SPF sunscreens that feel heavy, this one is oil‑free, non‑greasy, and doesn’t clog pores. It absorbs quickly and doesn’t leave a sticky or shiny finish, which is a huge plus when you’re active. The Helioplex technology provides strong broad‑spectrum UVA and UVB protection, helping to prevent both burning and long‑term sun damage. It’s also oxybenzone‑free and octinoxate‑free, making it compliant with Hawaii Act 104 and suitable for people who avoid certain chemical filters. Another great feature is its travel‑friendly 2.5 oz size, which is convenient to keep in your sports bag or backpack. You can reapply easily between matches or during outdoor activities. If there’s anything to improve, a fully fragrance‑free version would be nice for those sensitive to scents — although the current light scent isn’t bothersome. Overall, this is a dependable, high‑performance sunscreen for anyone who spends significant time outdoors. What I liked • Excellent sun protection — prevented sunburn even in intense heat • Sweat‑ and water‑resistant for up to 80 minutes • Oil‑free and non‑comedogenic — doesn’t cause breakouts • Lightweight, non‑greasy texture • Broad‑spectrum UVA/UVB protection with Helioplex • Oxybenzone‑free and Hawaii Act 104 compliant • Perfect travel size for sports or daily activities What could be better • A fragrance‑free option would be a nice addition

Solid sunscreen for active use
Style: SPF 70, Size: 2.5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I’ve been using this sunscreen for outdoor workouts and beach days, and it works really well. It provides strong sun protection, goes on fairly lightweight, and doesn’t feel too greasy for a high SPF product. I also like that it holds up against sweat and water, so I don’t have to constantly reapply. The only downside is that it can sting my eyes if I start sweating a lot, and it may leave a slight white cast if not blended in fully. Overall, it’s a dependable sunscreen for sports and outdoor activities, especially for the price.
