Before the Civil War, American President Franklin Pierce—a northerner from New Hampshire—sympathized with the pro-slavery South during one of the most divisive periods in the country’s history. He was a charming and intelligent lawyer who rose to the nation’s highest office, but his life and presidency were full of tragedy.
