Release date of Zachary Taylor Dollar: 11-23-09
Zachary Taylor, twelfth U.S. President, was born in 1784 in Virginia.
His family moved shortly after his birth to a plantation outside
Louisville, Kentucky, where he spent his childhood.
His reputation as a national hero made him an attractive presidential
candidate, and he won the general election in a three-candidate race.
Although he had little prior political experience, Taylor proved to be
independent-minded, to the dismay of his political party, the Whigs. As
the debate over slavery in western territories threatened to tear the
country apart, he was determined that the Union be preserved at all
costs. He warned southern leaders that he would command the Army
himself, if necessary, to enforce the law.
