Millard Fillmore, the 13th President of the United States, is notable for being the final president affiliated with the Whig Party and the last president without ties to either the Democratic or Republican parties. Serving from 1850 to 1853, Fillmore's presidency signaled the end of the Whig era, a party that emerged in the 1830s in response to Andrew Jackson's initiatives. Following Fillmore's tenure, the Whig party disintegrated, setting the stage for the ascendancy of the Republican Party, which swiftly established itself as a major political entity alongside the Democratic party.
