#President Pierce

[deadpresidents]

Your post yesterday about Franklin Pierce and what I've read about him being popular in Congress makes me think he would have been a really good hang.

Pierce was enormously popular with his fellow legislators and does seem like he would have been a blast to drink with...

...At least until somebody accidentally mentioned their kids and everyone got uncomfortable while Pierce drunkenly said, "My wife thinks God gruesomely crushed our only surviving child's skull right in front of our eyes in a train derailment before my inauguration so that I wouldn't be distracted when I became President."

Things would get pretty awkward after that. I mean, it's not like they could find a song on the jukebox to try to get the vibe back. Everybody would just keep trying to change the subject by mentioning things like, "So...how about that Ostend Manifesto?" as Pierce mumbled stuff like, "She keeps writing letters to our dead son and putting them in the White House fireplace like it's a mailbox for ghosts."

Since like 11* people on Instagram either commented or SU'd when I posted this in a story, this image proved compelling enough to share elsewhere.

This is a real video that you can watch here

I immediately had too many thoughts to keep to myself so these are my notes:

*it used to say 9 but then more people SU'd

"General Pierce is a sound radical Democrat of the old Jeffersonian school, and possesses highly respectable abilities. I think he is firm and energetic, without which no man is fit to be President. Should he fall into proper hands, he will administer the Government wisely and well."

-- James Buchanan, in a July 26, 1852 letter to reporter John Binns, on Franklin Pierce, who had just won the Democratic Presidential nomination as a dark horse candidate at the 1852 Democratic National Convention in Baltimore.

Buchanan had been a leading candidate for the nomination throughout the convention but could not win enough votes to put him over the top. Pierce became a compromise candidate when his name was first introduced on the 35th ballot, and clinched the nomination on the 49th ballot.

It's pierce's 220th birthday!

My reference is this blurry image. I'm also in Concord as I type this; I drew the portrait on the way

I'll replace my current pinned post with this. I like the old one because I'm happy with the rendering, but it's very irrelevant.
