Millard Fillmore did not actively support the Confederates during the Civil War. While he was a member of the Know Nothing Party and held views that were sympathetic to the South, he remained a Unionist and believed in the preservation of the United States. His presidency (1850-1853) was marked by efforts to address sectional tensions, particularly through the Compromise of 1850, but he did not take a stance that favored the Confederacy during the war itself.
