Franklin Pierce, the 14th President of the United States, faced significant challenges as the nation edged closer to civil war. A Northern Democrat with Southern sympathies, Pierce’s administration is remembered for its support of the Kansas-Nebraska Act, which allowed territories to decide on slavery. This act heightened tensions between the North and South and contributed to the rise of the Republican Party. Though Pierce sought to maintain unity, his pro-Southern policies alienated many, and he was not re-nominated by his party. Pierce’s presidency is often viewed as a precursor to the nation’s eventual descent into conflict.
