WI: Harrison and Taylor lived?

Let’s so in two alternate timelines let say they both lived through their presidencies. How would this effect the US? How would their presidencies be like if they lived? How are they looked back on after there time?
 
I haven't yet been able to come up with anything re Harrison. Taylor OTH....

Though he was a slaveholder, Taylor favored admitting California to the Union as a free state. He opposed the various measures now known as The Compromise of 1850 & would, if he had lived, have
vetoed them. The South in 1850 IOTL was so incensed @ the thought of a free California that many
Southerners now started talking secession. What pacified it was the Compromise of 1850- whose terms,
no less a figure than Henry Clay admitted, were"substantially a southern triumph".* Taylor lives, we have no compromise- & most likely the ACW erupts ten years earlier than it did. (This was also the
verdict of a notable contemporary- a few days after Taylor's funeral Daniel Webster told a friend: "If
General Taylor had lived we should have had civil war"**). What would have happened THEN I'm not
going to even try & guess!
