Franklin Pierce

1804–1869

View full profile →

Franklin Pierce (1804–1869) was the 14th President of the United States, serving from 1853 to 1857. A New Hampshire Democrat and Mexican-American War veteran, his presidency is remembered for the Kansas-Nebraska Act, which inflamed sectional tensions over slavery. His pro-Southern sympathies and enforcement of the Fugitive Slave Act made him a deeply controversial figure, and he died in obscurity, largely discredited by the Civil War.
