10 Worst Presidents in United States History Ever 3
Franklin Pierce was the 14th president of the United state. Pierce fell into the pit of the worst president in history because of his stance on the Kansas-Nebraska Act in 1854, where popular sovereignty was allowed to decide if newly admitted states in the United States would be slave free or not. This further intensifies the brewing debate about slavery and later spread to conflicts in Kansas territory. Violent clashes between pro-slavery and anti-slavery settlers in Kansas characterized this ugly situation. In addition, America lost its credibility on the international scene due to its inability to secure territorial rights and the proposed annexation of Cuba.
