Description
1852 FRANKLIN PIERCE 1ed Life US President Kansas-Nebraska Fugitive Slave Act
“The Life of Gen. Frank. Pierce, of New-Hampshire, the Democratic Candidate for the President of the United States” by David W. Bartlett is a detailed biography commissioned shortly after Pierces unexpected nomination for president at the 1852 Democratic National Convention, to introduce him to the wider American public. The book covers Pierces early life in New Hampshire as the son of a governor, his service in the U.S. House of Representatives and Senate, and his time as a brigadier general in the Mexican–American War. Despite aiming to offer an impartial view of Pierce, the biography inevitably carries a positive portrayal, emphasizing his qualities as a statesman, a soldier, and a person, aimed at depicting him as a promising candidate for the presidential role.
Pierces presidency was highlighted by both his attempts at maintaining a neutral stance in the governments civil service and his controversial support for pro-slavery policies (i.e. Kansas-Nebraska Act, Fugitive Slave Act) which garnered severe backlash and fueled the existing strife between the North and South that would later devolve into the American Civil War.
