| | Welcome to The American Presidency |
| | Franklin Pierce, the 14th president of the United States (1853–57), served during a time of worsening sectional controversy that was exacerbated by the passage (1854) of the Kansas-Nebraska Act. | | | In 1829, Pierce was elected to the state House of Representatives, and he served as its speaker in 1831 and 1832. | | | Pierce recognized the proslavery territorial government at Lecompton, chosen by fraudulent electoral practices, and sent troops to the territory; at the end of his administration, however, the Kansas question was far from resolved. |
