PRESENTATION OUTLINE

1.

FRANKLIN PIERCE

A VERY OBSCURE PRESIDENT, AND POSSIBLY ONE OF THE WORST.
2.

Fun Fact 1
Franklin Pierce was born on November 23, 1804 in Hillsboro, New Hampshire

Fun Fact 2
He was raised on the family farm in New Hampshire and followed the military tradition of his family; his father was a General in the Army

3.

Fun Fact 3
Franklin Pierce became the 14th president of America in 1853 when he was 49 years of age; he served for 4 years until 1857

Fun Fact 4
He was the first President to present his address from memory. His speech was over 3,000 words long, and he used no notes or reference to present it

4.

Fun Fact 5
Franklin Pierce married his sweetheart Jane Means Appleton in 1834. They raised three children but none of them reached the age of adulthood

Fun Fact 6
During Franklin Pierce's presidency the Kansas-Nebraska Bill was created, this defined the Kansas-Nebraska territories and bought new opportunities for settlers and transportation

Fun Fact 7
Franklin Pierce was the second President to hold office without a Vice President.

5.

His mother is Anna B. Kendrick (1768 - 1838)
Google keeps giving me an actress from modern times, and I've been searching for as much information as I can find, but the pierce family is rather obscure

6.

HIS DAD WAS A WAR HERO IN THE REVOLUTIONARY WAR. HE WAS A LIEUTENANT IN THE CONTINENTAL ARMY AND WAS LATER PROMOTED TO BRIGADIER GENERAL AND CREATED THE STATE MILITIA FOR NEW HAMPSHIRE. HE ALSO BUILT THE FRANKLIN PIERCE HOMESTEAD.

7.

FRANKLIN WAS ONE OF 8 CHILDREN. HE HAD ONE BROTHER IN PARTICULAR, JOHN SULLIVAN P. WHO BECAME A LIEUTENANT IN THE ARMY. AWESOME. HIS SISTER CHARLOTTE DIED IN INFANCY.

8.

FRANKLIN PIERCE WAS A DEMOCRAT.

YES. TOTAL TRUTH.
9.

He was a practitioner of the law in his home state of New Hampshire, and a very successful one at that, as he was promoted to u.s. attorney of the state. He also served in the House of Representatives and the Senate until he resigned from senate in 1842.

10.

Vice President: William R. King (1853-57)

Cabinet:

Secretary of State
William L. Marcy (1853-57)


Secretary of the Treasury
James Guthrie (1853-57)


Secretary of War
Jefferson Davis (1853-57)


Attorney General
Caleb Cushing (1853-57)


Postmaster General
James Campbell (1853-57)


Secretary of the Navy
James C. Dobbin (1853-57)


Secretary of the Interior
Robert McClelland (u1853-57)

11.

HE SERVED ABOUT 4 YEARS.

3/4/1853 - 3/3/1857
12.

Well, let's just say it's not pretty.
He signed the Kansas Nebraska act, and enforced the fugitive slave act. This, created tension between the north and south, basically leading us into the civil war. His inability to calm tensions was terrible, to say the least. What little success he saw in the presidency was overshadowed by all his failures.

13.

The country went into the civil war basically because of his actions as president. He did not win the reelection of his own political party as a nominee. All his kids died, too. His third and only surviving son was gruesomely killed in a train wreck like just before his inauguration. That sucks. Like for real.

Franklin Pierce, having almost no ability to ease tensions between the north and south, made him a very bad president for the time at hand, despite beginning talks with Russia to acquire Alaska in the name of America.

29.

With his chance of becoming president again destroyed, and his only surviving child killed in a train wreck before his first term, Franklin was very unhappy.
