Rise and fall of Franklin Pierce and the Fillmore era
The piece outlines Franklin Pierce as a southern-leaning president amid abolitionist clashes, notably backing the Ostend Manifesto and Bleeding Kansas, leading to the rise of the Republican Party. It then examines Millard Fillmore as a frail, conventional leader, his wife Mary Abigail Fillmore’s influence, and Perry’s Japan-opening act, ending with Fillmore’s failed bid to return to the presidency and Cleveland’s rise later.
