Biography
Taylor was a career soldier . Starting with a commission as a first lieutenant, in 1808 , he fought in the War of 1812 , the Black Hawk War , and the Second Seminole War . President Polk sent an army under his command to the Rio Grande in 1846 . When the Mexicans attacked Taylor's troops, Taylor defeated the Mexicans, despite being outnumbered 4-to-1, and Polk declared war. In the Mexican-American War that followed, Taylor won additional important victories at Monterrey and Buena Vista and became a national hero. President Polk, disturbed by General Taylor's informal habits of command and perhaps his Whig status as well, kept him in northern Mexico and sent an expedition under General Winfield Scott to capture Mexico City. Taylor, incensed, thought that "the battle of Buena Vista opened the road to the city of Mexico and the halls of Montezuma, that others might revel in them."

Abraham Lincoln Served as president from 1849 to 1850 Zachary Taylor (1784-1850), served his country for 40 years as a soldier and for 16 months as president. His courage and ability during the Mexican War made him a national hero. Taylor showed the same courage while he was president, but he died before he could prove his full abilities as a statesman. He was succeeded by Vice President Millard Fillmore.
President Taylor was one of the large slaveowners of the South. But he did not oppose admitting California and New Mexico to the Union as free states. The South demanded that other slavery problems be settled before those territories became states, and threatened to secede. Taylor replied that he was ready to take his place at the head of the army to put down any such action. He died at the height of this argument. President Fillmore's policies delayed the Civil War for 10 years.
Taylor made his greatest contribution to his country as a soldier. This quiet, friendly man was not a military genius but was a good leader. He never lost a battle. His troops nicknamed him "Old Rough and Ready."

TAYLOR, ZACHARY
, twelfth president of the United States. Taylor grew up in Kentucky, where his father was a moderately prosperous planter. Despite his family's social standing, he received little formal schooling; as a result, his writing was ungrammatical, and he found reading difficult all his life. Aided by his family's political connections, he received an army commission in 1808. Prior to the Mexican War, most of his service was spent on the frontier dealing with Indian affairs. His informal attire and indifference to physical hardship led his troops to nickname him Old Rough-and-Ready. During these years, Taylor successfully speculated in land. Eventually he purchased cotton plantations in Louisiana (which he made his home) and Mississippi and became a wealthy slave owner. When relations with Mexico deteriorated following the annexation of Texas, the Polk administration ordered Taylor to move his army of four thousand men to the Rio Grande. War commenced shortly after his arrival in March 1846 when Mexican forces attacked units of Taylor's army. In May, Taylor defeated the Mexican army at Palo Alto and quickly won another victory at Resaca de la Palma. His subsequent capture of Monterrey and his victory at the Battle of Buena Vista (February 22-23, 1847), where he was outnumbered three to one, firmly established his popular reputation as a military hero. He was a brave commander who remained calm in the heat of battle, but not a brilliant military leader: he was excessively cautious, failed to plan campaigns adequately, and displayed limited tactical ability. His successes stemmed more from his opponents' blunders, effective leadership by his subordinates, and his own dogged determination.

Zachary Taylor
Taylor was born in Virginia. He was one of six Presidents born in a log cabin. He was one of seven Presidents from Virginia. At one time Taylor owned slaves. He was known as "Old Rough and Ready." Plain, unassuming, and downright messy, he almost never wore a proper uniform. "He wears an old oil cap," said one man, "a dusty green coat, a frightful pair of trousers and on horseback he looks like a toad." He was a member of the Whig Party. He was one of 15 Presidents who did not win the Popular Vote. Taylor refused all postage due correspondence. Because of this, he didn't receive notification of his nomination for president until several days later. Zachary Taylor's horse grazed on the White House lawn. Visitors to the White House would take souvenir horsehairs from Whitey, Taylor's old Army horse, that he kept on the White House lawn. Taylor chewed tobacco. He was known as a sure shot when he spit tobacco. He never missed the sawdust box in the White House. He never lived in one place long enough to register to vote. He voted for the first time when he was 62 years old. Taylor had never voted in a Presidential Election until he voted for himself in 1848.

    Keep in mind that in the table above, the % of the U.S. population for religious groups are current figures. Religious groups have had much different proportions at various time in U.S. history. One of the most over-represented religious groups among U.S. presidents is Unitarianism. Despite merging with Universalism in the 1960s, the combined proportion of Unitarian Universalists in the U.S. population is just 0.2% of the population (one in every 500 Americans). Yet there have been 4 Unitarian presidents. Another over-represented religious group among U.S. presidents is Dutch Reformed, by virtue of having two U.S. presidents, yet having only a small number of people left in the country who identify themselves as Reformed. The contemporary heir to the Dutch Reformed churches is the "Reformed Church in America," which has about 300,000 members in the U.S. and Canada. (Alternatively, one might count only a single president as Dutch Reformed, if Theodore Roosevelt is counted as an Episcopalian sources differ on this subject . Even only one Dutch Reformed president would constitute statistical over-representation.) After that, Disciples of Christ, Episcopalians, and Quakers have also had representation in the White House far outstripping their proportion of the U.S. population.
