YouTube Description
as posted by the channelJohn Robson of TheRebel.com:
"July 9 is the anniversary of the death of Zachary Taylor from cholera in 1850. Which might sound sad for him but irrelevant to the rest of us. Except that Taylor was the 2nd, and last, Whig elected to the Presidency and the 2nd Whig president to die suddenly early in his first term. And the failure of the Whigs to develop into a full alternative to the Democrats in the two decades leading up to the Civil War is a major cause of that conflict. So these two medical accidents, small and random in themselves, contributed to it as well."
