The genial but troubled New Englander whose single-minded partisan loyalties inflamed the nation's simmering battle over slavery Charming and handsome, Franklin Pierce of New Hampshire was drafted to break the deadlock of the 1852 Democratic convention. Though he seized the White House in a landslide against the imploding Whig Party, he proved a dismal failure in office. Michael F. Holt, a leading historian of nineteenth-century partisan politics, argues that in the wake of the Whig collapse, Pierce was consumed by an obsessive drive to unify his splintering party rather than the roiling country. He soon began to overreach. Word leaked that Pierce wanted Spain to sell the slave-owning island of Cuba to the United States, rousing sectional divisions. Then he supported repeal of the Missouri Compromise, which limited the expansion of slavery in the west. Violence broke out, and "Bleeding Kansas" spurred the formation of the Republican Party. By the end of his term, Pierce's beloved party had ruptured, and he lost the nomination to James Buchanan. In this incisive account, Holt shows how a flawed leader, so dedicated to his party and ill-suited for the presidency, hastened the approach of the Civil War.

"Franklin Pierce - - the fourteenth President of the United Sates - - has existed in the public mind as a stereotype rather than as a many-sided human being. The predominate picture that we have of him is that of a weak and shallow man, a "mediocrity" who left little imprint upon the history of the United States. This stereotype, however, is grossly misleading, for Franklin Pierce was not a simple man. Indeed, his personality was complex, made up of varying strengths and conflicting inadequacies, while his life, full of inner turmoil, had an aspect of overwhelming tragedy. This authoritative biography makes available a full-scale study of an unusually interesting human being. With the same thoroughness and intensity that have distinguished all if his historical writing, Roy F. Nichols follows Pierce's life from his earliest years in New Hampshire, though his college career at Bowdoin, his marriage into the distinguished ranks of an established New England family, his rise in politics, his services as a brigadier general of volunteers in the Mexican War, and his election to the Presidency as a "dark Horse" candidate of the Democratic Party. Mr. Nichols minutely examines all the domestic and international crises that beset Pierce's administration - - the growing conflict between North and South that was to erupt within a decade into civil war, the abortive attempt to annex Cuba, the troubled relations with England, the filibustering activities of such men as William Walker which aroused much resentment in Central America toward the United States. Not only does the author refashion the exciting events of these critical days in American history, but he also unfolds, with sympathy and compassion, the tragic developments that dogged Pierce in his personal life -- his difficult marriage, his wife's illness, the death of three sons, the final bleak years of obscurity before he passed away, almost forgotten by the nation he had served."

Explore the tumultuous presidency of Franklin Pierce, the 14th leader of the United States in Franklin Pierce's book. This insightful biography delves into the life and times of a president who faced immense challenges and controversies during one of the most critical periods in American history. Born in New Hampshire, Franklin Pierce's political career took him from the House of Representatives to the Senate before becoming the President of the United States. His presidency, which spanned from 1853 to 1857, was marked by deeply divisive issues, particularly the question of slavery's expansion into newly acquired territories. Pierce's support for the Kansas-Nebraska Act, which allowed territories to decide on the issue of slavery, further inflamed tensions between the North and South. His enforcement of the Fugitive Slave Act alienated anti-slavery groups, ultimately contributing to the onset of the American Civil War. Despite his initial popularity and election victory, Pierce's presidency was fraught with difficulties. He struggled to balance the diverse interests within the Democratic Party, and his efforts at civil service reform and patronage largely failed. His administration's handling of international affairs, including attempts to acquire Cuba and the signing of significant trade treaties, faced criticism and controversy. Personal tragedy also shadowed Pierce's life, with the loss of his children and his wife's long battle with illness and depression. His presidency came to an end with a sharply declining reputation in the North and a Democratic Party that abandoned him. This book provides a comprehensive look at a president who grappled with the complexities of his era and left a controversial legacy that continues to be a subject of historical debate.
