What key events happened during Millard Fillmore's presidency? The Compromise of 1850 was approved with Fillmore's blessing. Like most compromises, it pleased no one, but helped stave off the Civil War for 10 years.

In U.S. land surveying under the Public Land Survey System (PLSS), a section is an area nominally one square mile (2.6 square kilometers), containing 640 acres (260 hectares), with 36 sections making up one survey township on a rectangular grid.
Each acre is 43,560 square f â¦ eet   Therefore, one quarter of a section is 640/4 x 43,560 = 6,969,600 square feet.   Alternatively, you can see that a square mile cut into quarters would be 4 half-mile by half-mile squares. A mile is 5,280 feet, so each square would be (1/2 x 5,280)2 = 6,969,600 square feet.
