Franklin Pierce: Martyr for the Union

Peter A. Wallner

4.9/5 (13773 ratings)

Description:Franklin Pierce is invariably rated among the least successful presidents in U.S. history. Wallner's interpretation of the Pierce administration sheds new light on the forces at work in antebellum America which impeded the hardworking and honest 14th president, thus hastening the disintegration of the two-party system and the worsening of sectional conflict over slavery. In the process, the second volume of Franklin Pierce offers new insights into the Kansas-Nebraska Act and "bleeding" Kansas, U.S. attempts to acquire Cuba, relations with Great Britain, and the 1850s phenomena of filibusters and Know-Nothingism. The story of Franklin Pierce concludes with a complete account of his post-presidential years, particularly the reasons behind Pierce's hostility to the Lincoln administration and his opposition to the Civil War. The result is a highly readable narrative that challenges the myths which abound regarding this most misunderstood former president.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
