"We can place no secure reliance upon any apparent progress if it be not sustained by national integrity, resting upon the great truths affirmed and illustrated by Divine Revelation." ||  **//"The great objects of our pursuit as a people//**  **//are best to be attained by peace."//** || = Life Overview: = Born: November 23, 1804, Hillsborough, New Hampshire... Pierce's strong support for the Compromise of 1850 appeared to indicate that he was not going to press the issue of slavery. With the country in precarious balance, almost every decision made during his administration -- buying Mexican territory for a southern railroad route, a potential invasion of Cuba -- was scrutinized and criticized for its bias toward pro-slavery forces. The Kansas-Nebraska Act effectively nullified the Missouri Compromise, leading to a race to settle Kansas that resulted in pitched battles and a prelude to the Cival War. Although Pierce sought a second term, the Democratic Party denied him their nomination... Died: October 8, 1869. || US President Home Page
