Franklin Pierce (1853-1857)
🇺🇸 The 14th President who got dealt the worst hand in White House history.
Signs Gadsden Purchase: Locks in the final chunk of U.S. soil for that southern railroad dream.
Reforms diplomacy, creates the Court of Claims.
Zero scandals. Personal hell on blast. Peak "cursed but competent" energy.
But the real gut-punch? Kansas-Nebraska Act. Lets territories vote on slavery—tries to cool tensions, ignites "Bleeding Kansas" bloodbath instead. Pro-South bias widens the North-South chasm, tanks his party, births the Republicans.
