Chattel slavery and its after-effects is a fucking tragedy.

Reconstruction should have lasted 50 years.

Frozen human embryos are still considered property and are traded under regular contract law. Slavery, and the people who support it, are still around.

Almost certainly the worst President

Whenever I hear people say someone is the worst president ever, I always mention Buchanan. And no one has any idea what I'm talking about.

Trump’s definitely bottom 5, maybe even bottom 3 but Buchanan completely fucked up with regards to the civil war

We will be finding out about horrible things for the next century and if democracy falls to the christo fascists you can surely see this guys face as the harbinger.

Trump has rewritten the book on graft and treason

The guy that Abraham Lincoln had to clean up after.

What?! A Democrat that was pro slavery. /s

TIL that as President-Elect, US Pres. James Buchanan improperly wrote to a Supreme Court justice asking him to vote pro-slavery in the Dred Scott case. The court would rule 7-2 that Scott was a possession, not a person, and denied his petition for freedom
