Fillmore supported the Compromise of 1850 and like any compromise, it did not satisfy anybody, but it was most hated by strong anti-slavery people in the North.

What legacy did Millard Fillmore left behind?
Millard Fillmore's legacy is mixed. While he played a role in preserving the Union by pushing for the Compromise of 1850, which temporarily eased tensions between the North and the South, he is also criticized for supporting the Fugitive Slave Act. Fillmore's presidency is generally considered uninspiring and his policies on slavery are seen as contributing to the escalating tensions that led to the Civil War. Overall, his legacy is one of controversy and limited impact.
What happened to the US when Millard Fillmore was president in 1849-1850?
Actually, Millard Fillmore's predecessor, Zachary Taylor, was U.S. President from 1849 to 1850. As Vice President, Millard Fillmore took over when Zachary Taylor died in 1850, and he completed the term to which President Taylor was elected, which ended in 1853. When I think of Millard Fillmore, I think of how the Compromise of 1850 backfired. The north thought it gave too much to the south, and the south thought it gave too much too the north. It was supposed to placate both sides, but instead it had the exact opposite effect. California, which became a U.S. state in 1850, was the last state to be admitted that was not previously an organized U.S. territory or part of an existing U.S. state. The main reason that the usual territorial period was bypassed in the case of California was the gold rush that started there in 1849. It's because it started in 1849 that the huge number of people who migrated to California at that time to try to get some of that gold for themselves were called 49ers.
Who was the presindent in 1855?
Franklin Pierce, from 1853-1857, was one of a line of four incompetent presidents before the civil war (Zachary Taylor, Millard Fillmore, Franklin Pierce, James Buchanan). He was a feel-good candidate for both the north and the south and was liked by almost everyone, but he secretly favored the south. He was pressured into signing the Kansas-Nebraska Act.

What was the result of Douglas's unbunding of clay's resolutions?
It was as though Douglas had found the key to passing the entire compromise. Millard Fillmore supported his plan, and soon enough the south was ready to negotiate. Southern leaders felt this was the best way the south could secure without radical action. Ultimately, the Compromise of 1850 was put into law.
