Zachary Taylor | President's Day | Kentucky Life | KET
"Zachary Taylor" on this segment of the President's Day episode of Kentucky Life on KET.
Despite the fact that Louisiana is considered his home state, Zachary Taylor, who was president from 1849-1850, has many ties to Kentucky. Born in Virginia in 1785, he was raised here on a farm two miles east of Louisville, on Muddy Fork of Beargrass Creek. He married in Kentucky and five of his six children were born here.
In later life, his home was in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, where he was a slaveholder with a cotton plantation in Mississippi. A career military man, "Old Rough and Ready" became a national hero in the Mexican-American War—and a perfect choice for presidential candidate among Southerners.
After Taylor was elected president in 1848, he surprised everyone by rejecting the extension of ...

President Zachary Taylor | Daily Bellringer
President Zachary Taylor: Zachary Taylor would be the 12th President of the United States. Taylor had risen to fame through military victories and had a very short term in office. Questions below:
1. What political party was Taylor officially a member of?
2. What fort did Taylor defend during the War of 1812?
3. TRUE OR FALSE: Taylor believed slavery should be allowed to expand into the west.
4. How old was Taylor when he died?
5. If Taylor had survived in office and not accepted the Compromise of 1850 do believe you the Civil War would have begun then? Why or why not? (if needed go back and watch Daily Bellringer video on The Compromise of 1850 https://youtu.be/5WJe0Fsc8CI )

"OLD ROUGH & READY"! MEXICAN WAR HERO! ZACHARY TAYLOR!
We visited the monument and grave of President and Major General Zachary Taylor, in Louisville, Kentucky. Zachary Taylor was a career soldier and gave almost his entire life in service to his country. He served most of his career on the western frontier of the United States and took part in the Northwest Indian Wars, Black Hawk's War and the Seminole Wars before getting called to first in the Mexican War.
He had zero political experience but was urged to run for President of the United States. He refused to take the oath of office on the assigned day because it was the sabbath which gave power to the only man who has had it for one day. President Zachary Taylor died in office and his death is a mystery to this day. His main goal during his Presidency was the preservation of the Union.

Despite the fact that Louisiana is considered his home state, Zachary Taylor, who was president from 1849-1850, has many ties to Kentucky. Born in Virginia in 1785, he was raised here on a farm two miles east of Louisville, on Muddy Fork of Beargrass Creek. He married in Kentucky and five of his six children were born here.
In later life, his home was in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, where he was a slaveholder with a cotton plantation in Mississippi. A career military man, "Old Rough and Ready" became a national hero in the Mexican-American War—and a perfect choice for presidential candidate among Southerners.
After Taylor was elected president in 1848, he surprised everyone by rejecting the extension of slavery into those territories recently taken from Mexico. Kentucky's Henry Clay came up with a compromise, proposing that California be admitted as a free state and the other territories be allowed to have slavery. Taylor remained opposed, so much so that the old general threatened to lead the Army against Southern secessionists.
A compromise was still under debate when Taylor died unexpectedly on July 9, 1850, after a brief but severe gastrointestinal illness. Official word from his doctors was that he died of cholera. Taylor's body was taken back home to Louisville for burial in the family cemetery.
However, for over a century afterward, some historians wondered if Taylor's political enemies had poisoned him with arsenic. His body was exhumed in 1991 and the Kentucky coroner, Dr. George Nichols, said it was his opinion that Taylor died of natural causes, not arsenic poisoning.
Today, the Zachary Taylor National Cemetery in Louisville is the final resting place for thousands of soldiers.

We visited the monument and grave of President and Major General Zachary Taylor, in Louisville, Kentucky. Zachary Taylor was a career soldier and gave almost his entire life in service to his country. He served most of his career on the western frontier of the United States and took part in the Northwest Indian Wars, Black Hawk's War and the Seminole Wars before getting called to first in the Mexican War.
He had zero political experience but was urged to run for President of the United States. He refused to take the oath of office on the assigned day because it was the sabbath which gave power to the only man who has had it for one day. President Zachary Taylor died in office and his death is a mystery to this day. His main goal during his Presidency was the preservation of the Union.
Taylor was technically kidnapped on his journey to take office as President and another interesting fact about him is that the eventual President of the Confederate States of American Jefferson Davis served under Taylor and resigned so that he could marry Taylor's daughter.
Zachary Taylor lived a amazing life and is forgotten by most Americans today. We aim to help keep his legacy alive. Hear his epic story in this video!
