  1. California gold rush (1849)

    Dr. Elizabeth Blackwell becomes the first American woman to earn a medical degree (1849)

    Domestic Policy

    The issue of slavery dominated Taylor's presidency, as it did those of his mid-nineteenth century successors. Taylor encouraged New Mexico and California to seek statehood, bypassing the territorial stage, and to write the legal status of slavery into their state constitutions. Southerners objected to the quick admittance of two probable free states and threatened to secede. Taylor, furious at the idea of disunity, vowed to lead the charge into rebellious states. Before any of these ominous threats were realized, Taylor suddenly fell ill and died; a recent exhumation and autopsy (1991) ruled out poisoning as a cause of death.

    Foreign Affairs

    The one notable foreign policy achievement during Taylor's short presidency was the signing of the Clayton-Bulwer Treaty. This document established that any Central American canal linking the Atlantic to the Pacific would be open to both British and American ships and would not be fortified. Some saw this as a betrayal of the Monroe Doctrine.
