1856: No Fillmore?
TommyC1776:
What if Millard Fillmore hadn't of run in 1856? Would Buchanan have won 100% in each Southern state? Did Fillmore almost have to run to keep the Whig party alive, a little longer anyways? And, did Fillmore take some votes away from Fremont?
DWPerry:
Assuming that Fremont gets all of Fillmore's votes it would be an Electoral Tie!

True Democrat:
I highly doubt that Fremont would have gotten even a large percentage of Fillmore's votes. Do you really think Fremont could win Maryland when Lincoln got under 5% or something?
True Federalist (진정한 연방 주의자):
Take away Filmore and the Whig party, and the American Party would still have un somebody in 1856, say Andrew Donelson. About the best he could have hoped for would have been to take Kentucky, Louisiana, and Tennessee himself (30 EV) and swing Illinois to Fremont (11 EV).
Fremont 144 EV
Buchannan 143 EV
Donelson 38 EV
That probably leads to Donelson as President and Breckinridge as Vice President given the composition of the lame duck Congress that would have decided the election.

How would Donelson and Breckinridge get elected? They weren't (and wouldn't have been, anyways, if Andrew Donelson was the Presidential candidate for the Know-Nothings) on the same ticket. Donelson would've done better than Fillmore?
