Franklin Pierce served as the 14th president of the United States from 1853 to 1857. As a northern Democrat, he believed that the abolitionist movement posed a significant threat to the nation’s unity. His support for the Kansas-Nebraska Act and the Fugitive Slave Act alienated anti-slavery groups. The country remained divided after Pierce’s presidency, and with the election of Abraham Lincoln as president in 1860, the Southern states seceded, leading to the American Civil War.
