Biography - A Short Wiki
The 14th President of the United States, he faced criticism for being a “doughface,” meaning a Northerner who sympathized with the South. His enforcement of the Fugitive Slave Act did little to dispel this reputation, and he is often ranked among the country’s worst presidents.
He fathered three sons with his wife, Jane Means Appleton, none of whom reached adolescence or lived to see their father become president.
