Another twist in formatting with this episode! Think of it as a Part Two to the Dead Too Soon Presidents released earlier this season, as we follow up that episode with the successor to Zachary Taylor and the grandson of William Henry Harrison. We decided to put these two in the same episode to close out the last of our Presidents who have a more forgettable reputation in American history. It also served as an opportunity to shed light on how the failure of the Whigs to keep their Party united contrasted with Republicans giving their Party room to incorporate more political ideologies into their coalition. As a result, these Presidents leave behind very different legacies -- Fillmore's term marks the end of the Whigs and Harrison sparks a new era of Progressive politics that inspires the actions of many of his successors.
