James Buchanan

James Buchanan (April 23, 1791 – June 1, 1868) was the 15th president of the United States (1857–1861). He was the only bachelor president, and the only resident of Pennsylvania to hold that office. He has been criticized for failing to prevent the country from sliding into the American Civil War and generally lacking good judgment and moral courage. On Buchanan's final day as president, he remarked to the incoming Abraham Lincoln, "If you are as happy entering the presidency as I am in leaving it, then you are truly a happy man."
