He won his home state of Maryland.
Fillmore was from New York, not Maryland. He won Maryland due to it's strong anti-Catholicsm block.
funny considering how strongly Catholic Maryland is now. I would rank Fillmore as one of the worst men ever to be president for his run on that ticket alone. One of the most dispicable parties in American history.
Maryland has always been strongly Catholic. It was foudned by Lord Baltimore, a Catholic, who was sent to the New World because the King didn't want any Catholic lords in the Isles.
