Franklin Pierce
Franklin Pierce was the 14th President of the United States, serving from 1853 to 1857. His presidency is often criticized for his inability to address the growing tensions between the North and South over slavery, which eventually led to the Civil War. Pierce supported the Kansas-Nebraska Act, which allowed territories to decide on the legality of slavery, contributing to violent conflicts known as 'Bleeding Kansas.' Despite his efforts to promote national unity, his presidency is often viewed as a failure in the context of the escalating sectional conflict.
