James Buchanan was a rare president who announced at the start of his first term that he wouldn’t run again.
Great recounting of President Buchanan, Dr. Brands. Would love a future piece analyzing whether you think secession would have happened without the 1859 revolt by John Brown.
Lincoln seems to be as helpful to Buchanan, as Roosevelt later was to Hoover.
