Initially uninterested in politics, Taylor nonetheless ran as a Whig in the 1848 presidential election, defeating Lewis Cass. Taylor was the last President to hold slaves while in office, and the last Whig to win a presidential election. Known as "Old Rough and Ready," Taylor had a forty-year military career in the United States Army, serving in the War of 1812, the Black Hawk War, and the Second Seminole War. He achieved fame leading American troops to victory in the Battle of Palo Alto and the Battle of Monterrey during the Mexican–American War. As president, Taylor angered many Southerners by taking a moderate stance on the issue of slavery.

  • Bawcomville Recreation Area
    The Northeast Louisiana Delta was once the last bastion of the ivory-billed woodpecker and Louisiana black bear. For a time, agriculture and hardwood timbering took its toll on this lush bottomland of hardwood and cypress-tupelo swamp habitats. The ivory-billed woodpecker may be lost forever, but the Louisiana black bear is making an impressive comeback, thanks to an intensive wildlife conservation program. Hundreds of thousands of acres of abandoned farmland in this region have been purchased and restored to their former forested glory. Come discover Louisiana’s natural beauty! While you’re here, we hope you’ll find time to put down your binoculars and enjoy everything else our state has to offer—our unique music, cuisine, art and history.
