James Buchanan (April 23, 1791 – June 1, 1868) was the 15th President of the United States (1857-1861). He was the only bachelor President, and the only resident of Pennsylvania to hold that office. He has been criticized for failing to prevent the country from sliding into schism and the American Civil War and as a result, he is widely considered, together with his predecessor Franklin Pierce, to be one of the worst presidents in U.S. history.
