Territorial policy and union unity under Pierce era
In a lengthy 1855 address Franklin Pierce defends national sovereignty, rejects secessionist aims, and argues state rights must yield to constitutional bond. He laments attempts to impose social institutions on other states, endorses popular territorial self-government, and warns that disunion would result from sectional interference and slave expansion debates.
