1784–1850
A career soldier nicknamed “Old Rough and Ready,” he rose to national fame through decades of frontier service and victories in the Mexican-American War before becoming the 12th president of the United States. His time in the White House lasted only about 16 months, but it came at a tense moment when the country was arguing over slavery and the future of the Union.
