Franklin Pierce (23 Nov 1804 Jahr – 8 Okt 1869 Jahr)

Beschreibung:

Franklin Pierce was the 14th president of the United States. A northern Democrat who believed that the abolitionist movement was a fundamental threat to the unity of the nation, he alienated anti-slavery. On May 30, 1854, President Franklin Pierce signed the Kansas-Nebraska Act, which was designed to solve the issue of expanding slavery into the territories. However, it failed miserably; the Kansas-Nebraska Act was one of the key political events that led to the American Civil War.
