Franklin Pierce, 14th President of the United States (1853-1857), in Later Life
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative portrait captures Franklin Pierce, the 14th President of the United States, in his later years. Born on November 23, 1804, in Hillsborough, New Hampshire, Pierce rose to prominence as a dedicated public servant and a skilled statesman. He served in the United States House of Representatives from 1833 to 1837 and later as the United States Ambassador to Great Britain from 1852 to 1853. In 1852, Pierce was nominated by the Democratic Party to run for President, and he went on to win the election that November. His presidency was marked by several significant events, including the passage of the Kansas-Nebraska Act in 1854, which led to the controversy over the expansion of slavery in the territories. Pierce's term ended in 1857, and he returned to private life. This photograph, taken in the latter part of Pierce's life, shows him with a serious expression, his graying hair and wrinkled face reflecting the weight of the burdens he bore during his time in office. The image serves as a poignant reminder of a complex and often overlooked figure in American history, who played a crucial role in shaping the country during a tumultuous period. Franklin Pierce passed away on October 8, 1869, at the age of 65. His legacy continues to be studied and debated by historians, and this photograph offers a unique glimpse into the life of a man who dedicated himself to serving his country, even in the face of great challenges.
