| | Internet Obituary Network, Obituary for American President James Buchanan, 1791-1868 |
| | James Buchanan, the 15th president of the United States was distinguished as the only bachelor to serve as Chief Executive and was faulted for permitting the secession of the southern states precipitating the Civil War. | | | James Buchanan became so despised for his lack of action in the face of the national crisis, his portrait was removed from the Capitol Rotunda to protect it from vandalism, and the Senate drafted a resolution to condemn him for his failure to prevent the secession. | | | Buchanan was by his inauguration facing a growing threat of secession over the slave issue, but went into office buoyed by the false hope that Northern abolitionists could be convinced to let Southern slave states manage their own affairs as long as no new states chartered slavery into their constitutions. |
