 James Buchanan - 15th President of the United States - Graphite

James Buchanan, is the last president before the Civil War. He was a weak president who hated the presidency, and for the most part was indecisive about almost everything. He morally opposed slavery but believed it was protected by the Constitution, believed in the right to secession, and it was under his presidency, that the raid at Harper’s Ferry occurred. He was a lifelong bachelor, and because of his close relationship with William King, it is often suspected that he was gay, he and King were referred to as “Miss Nancy” and “Aunt Fancy.”
