| | 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. |

| | The Athenaeum - Sir James Hope Grant |
| | Today Hope Grant is known to few, probably because he kept his own counsel and in the process offended seniors who couldn't argue with his successes, but there can be little doubt that Hope Grant's military successes greatly enhanced the reputations of some very recognizable names in British colonial history. | | | Grant served throughout England's first Chinese war, attaining the rank of regimental-major in 1842 and nomination as a C.B. for his services. | | | For his services throughout the mutiny Grant was raised from C.B. to K.C.B. (1858), and was promoted major-general, a reward that cost him the value of his commission, 12,000l. |

| | Let the People Decide: Black Freedom and White Resistance Movements in Sunflower County, Mississippi, 1945-1986, by J. Todd Moye. Prologue. |
| | James Oliver Eastland, the nephew of the murdered James Eastland, was raised in Forest and represented the town's district in the state legislature from 1928 to 1932. | | | Eastland forced the lynch mob to wait until midafternoon, the time when rural black churches have traditionally met in the Delta, to begin the execution—most likely in the hope that as many blacks as possible would witness the grisly spectacle and learn a lesson from it. | | | The sheriff of Sunflower County arrested Woods Eastland in September 1904 and charged him with "having caused Luther Holbert and wife to be burned at the stake." The state hinted that it would prosecute the case vigorously, and Eastland assembled a team of attorneys led by Anselm J. McLaurin. |
