  • Summary

  • Alexis and Elliott delve into the life of a handsome yet disappointing president, number 14, Franklin Pierce. They speak to a presidential grief specialist about how Pierce dealt with a tragic death two months before his inauguration, examine how the Kansas-Nebraska Act—an act that was meant to defuse tension over slavery—ended up blowing up the country, and explore Pierce’s lifelong friendship with the acclaimed novelist Nathaniel Hawthorne.

Best we forget. F for him.

There was nothing uplifting about this tale of a man who reached the highest level of public office. It seems a story of A man incapacitated by self pity. He had to have something going for him beyond looks to get to this tale doesn’t provide much insight. What were Americans thinking when they voted for him? U r not going to find the answer in this piece.
