The Great American Give-Up: Pierce, Buchanan, and a Country off the Rails
Update: 2024-04-22
Description
What events led to the Civil War? How could America's leaders have allowed things get so out of control? Tony Rydberg and Ryan Rasmussen explore 1853-1861, the eight years immediately preceding America's Civil War, to determine the cause of America's bloodiest crisis. How much blame can be attributed to Franklin Pierce and James Buchanan, two of America's most obscure presidents (and two of the worst)? Were they the cause, or was the country's course already so derailed that no engineer would have been able to steer us back onto the tracks?
