Definition

A surname, most famously associated with Millard Fillmore, the 13th President of the United States who served in the 1850s.

Kelly Says

Millard Fillmore is one of the least-remembered U.S. presidents, which is actually interesting because he's often forgotten despite making significant political decisions during America's slavery crisis!
