  • Zachary Taylor was a military leader before he became 12th President of the United States after James K. Polk. He sympathized with the plight of the Native Americans but fought them hard. Taylor owned about 100 slaves and it’s unclear to the author whether he sympathized with their plight or not. He won a decisive military victory against the Mexicans as a general in the Mexican-American War. As president he put slave owners against him by failing to introduce harsher laws against fugitive slaves and encouraged settlers in California and New Mexico to draft their constitutions which the slave owners disliked as those two states were unlikely to agree to slavery. Northerners were also angry as nothing was done about slave markets in the District of Columbia. Congress was angry as well as Zachary Taylor insisted on taking some decisions himself that Congressmen felt they should take. Zachary Taylor died in office with the issue unresolved but his successors worked out a temporary compromise. It’s unclear if anyone could have reconciled the abolitionists and the slavers permanently. Even Lincoln couldn’t reconcile then but could only fight a successful Civil War.

  • Zachary Taylor (November 24, 1784 – July 9, 1850) was the 12th President of the United States (1849–1850) and an American military leader. His 40-year military career ended with far-reaching victories in the Mexican–American War. His status as a national hero won him election to the White House despite his vague political beliefs. His top priority as president was preserving the Union, but he died 16 months into his term, before making any progress on the status of slavery, which had been inflaming tensions in Congress. Taylor was born to a prominent family of planters who migrated westward from Virginia to Kentucky in his youth. He was commissioned as a U.S. Army officer in 1808 and made a name for himself as a captain in the War of 1812. He climbed the ranks establishing military forts along the Mississippi River and entered the Black Hawk War as a colonel in 1832. His success in the Second Seminole War attracted national attention and earned him the nickname "Old Rough and Ready". In 1845, as the annexation of Texas was underway, President James K. Polk dispatched Taylor to the Rio Grande area in anticipation of a potential battle with Mexico over the disputed Texas-Mexico border. The Mexican–American War broke out in May 1846, and Taylor led American troops to victory in a series of battles culminating in the Battle of Palo Alto and the Battle of Monterrey. He became a national hero, and political clubs sprung up to draw him into the upcoming 1848 presidential election. The Whig Party convinced the reluctant Taylor to lead their ticket, despite his unclear platform and lack of interest in politics. He won the election alongside U.S. Representative Millard Fillmore of New York, defeating Democratic candidate Lewis Cass. As president, Taylor kept his distance from Congress and his cabinet, even as partisan tensions threatened to divide the Union. Debate over the slave status of the large territories claimed in the war led to threats of secession from Southerners. Despite being a Southerner and a slaveholder himself, Taylor did not push for the expansion of slavery. To avoid the question, he urged settlers in New Mexico and California to bypass the territorial stage and draft constitutions for statehood, setting the stage for the Compromise of 1850. Taylor died suddenly of a stomach-related illness in July 1850, ensuring he would have little impact on the sectional divide that led to civil war a decade later.
  • Zachary Taylor was the young male student who was sharing a detention bench with Gregory House in the Season 7 episode Two Stories. He was portrayed by actor Austin Michael Coleman. Zachary liked fellow student Colleen and set out to get her to kiss him as he had a feeling she liked him as well. However, he knew if he just asked her and she did, her friends would call her a "slut", so he tried to set up a situation where she would be "forced" to kiss him. However, things did not go exactly his way. He plotted to beat Colleen at rope jumping by bribing a fellow student to deliberately hit her leg. Colleen had confidence in her rope jumping ability and figured she couldn't lose and accepted the bet. When she lost, she got angry at Zachary and intimated he wouldn't kiss him if "I had brain cancer and your lips were the cure". He also accidentally had hit her in the eye with a floor hockey puck, giving her a bad bruise. In addition, when Colleen showed up to pay off the bet, he realized he couldn't go through with it knowing he had cheated. However, he later sent her a note asking her to meet him in private. When they did and were about to kiss, they were caught by Ms. Washburn and were sent to the principal's office. When they arrived, they were confused when they saw House there. They both started telling their stories about why they were there and the trouble they were having in their relationships. Zachary explained his plan to House and Colleen, and said that although Colleen seemed bossy, she wasn't mean at all. It is unknown what happens to Zach and Colleen afterwards, but it is possible that they will continue to have their relationship in the future.
