James Buchanan By Elliot James Buchanan was one of the Presidents to born in a log cabin. He was born on April 23, 1791, at Stony Batter in Cove Gap, Pennsylvania. He was the oldest of 11 children in his family. When Buchanan was young, he didn't behave in school. First he went to school in Mercersburg, Pennsylvania then he entered Dickinson College in Carlisle, Pennsylvania. When he went to study law and was later admitted to the legal profession of lawyers in 1812. After that he went to the city of Lancaster, Pennsylvania to set up his law practice. When Buchanan was 28 years old, he was engaged to a woman named Anne Coleman, who was a daughter of a millionaire. One day Anne heard rumors about Buchanan wanting to marry her for the money so they broke up. His engagement was not so good. A few months later Anne was found dead, people thought she committed suicide. Buchanan promised that he would never marry and he didn't. He was the only President that was a bachelor all his life. Before Buchanan was President, he was a U.S. Senator from Pennsylvania for more than ten years. He began his political career in 1814 with his election to the House of Representative. He served as Secretary of State under President James K. Polk and as President Pierce's minister of Great Britain. During his foreign service, Buchanan's name was brought up as a Democratic party's nominee for the 1856 Presidential election. He ran against John C. Fremont. Buchanan polled 174 electoral votes and 1,832,955 popular votes.

HOME INTRO SYMBOLS ALMANAC ... WEBMASTER James Buchanan Born: April 23, 1791 Place: Cove Gap, Pennsylvania Died: June 1, 1868 Place: Lancaster, Pennsylvania J ames Buchanan was born on April 23, 1791 in Cove Gap, Pennsylvania, near Mercersburg. Like Abraham Lincoln, he was born in a log cabin, but unlike Lincoln, his beginnings were not so humble. His father was a successful merchant, having emigrated from Ireland some ten years before James' birth, and building up a prosperous general store and trading post. James was the second of eleven children. His family's situation allowed him the opportunity to gain an education, and at the age of 16 he went on to Dickinson College in Carlisle, Pennsylvania. He graduated with honors, went on to study law, and in 1813 he was admitted to the Pennsylvania bar. He set up a law practice in Lancaster that was soon interrupted by a short stint serving with a regiment that defended Baltimore during the War of 1812. At its conclusion, he returned to his law practice in Lancaster. Buchanan was a good lawyer and successful businessman, enhancing his reputation and building up his personal wealth. W B ut James Buchanan's retirement was short-lived. In 1852 he ran for President as a member of the Democratic Party, but the country elected Franklin Pierce. In 1853 Pierce selected Buchanan to be the U.S. Ambassador to Great Britain. In a way, this overseas post was beneficial to Buchanan's political career by enabling him to stay out of the domestic controversies regarding slavery, and particularly to avoid the bitter arguments over the Kansas-Nebraska Act. While politicians at home were embroiled in controversy, Buchanan was able to return to the United States, and to the Democratic National Convention of 1856, untarnished by all the domestic political controversy. Combined with his record of compromise and respect for the Southern states' positions on slavery, Buchanan's untarnished image proved too much for his political opponents, and on March 4, 1857 James Buchanan became the nation's 15th President. He was also the only bachelor to hold the nation's highest office.

Instead of simply rehashing the tired and often unfair criticism of Buchanan as "the worst President of the United States", Klein relies upon a wealth of primary source material to present a complex and fascinating man. Instead of being charactered as an inept failure, Buchanan comes across as an accomplished statesman who was dedicated to the U.S. Constitution and the rule of law who was caught in a "no win" situation as President. In seeking a compromise solution to avoid the impending holocaust of the Civil War when a compromise solution was probably no longer possible, Buchanan appear as a tragic figure more thasn as an abysmal failure. Kleins book is extremely well researched and insightful and is highly recommended to all those seeking to gain a greater understanding of our 15th President and the turbulent years before the Civil War.

James Buchanan (1791-1868), fifteenth president of the United States, born at Stony Batter, Pa. and educated at Dickinson College. He studied law, was admitted to the bar in 1812 and soon obtained a large practice. He then entered the army and served as a private during the War of 1812, was elected to the Pennsylvania legislature in 1814, and to Congress in 1821, where he remained ten years. In 1831 Buchanan retired from Congress, and he was soon afterwards appointed United States minister to Russia, but was elected to the Senate in 1833. There he vigorously defended the president's right to remove officials without the consent of the Senate. During Van Buren's administration he gave his support to the establishment of an independent treasury; under Tyler he sustained the veto power, opposed the ratification of the Webster-Ashburton Treaty and was one of the earliest advocates of the annexation of Texas. In 1845 he left the Senate and became secretary of state in Polk's cabinet. While occupying this position he was largely instrumental in settling the northwestern boundary between the United States and British provinces. On the election of Pierce, Buchanan was appointed minister to Great Britain. He was a pro-slvery man and signed the Ostend Manifesto. In 1856 he secured the Democratic nomination for the presidency, and at the election he received 174 electoral votes, being elected over Fremont, the Republican, and Fillmore, the Know-Nothing.

The fifteenth president, Buchanan occupied the White House from 1857 to 1861 and had the unpleasant distinction of presiding over the country during the slide into civil war. His failure to find a workable middle ground that kept the United States from going to war with itself was a sad end to what was a brilliant and distinguished political career that began in 1815. Born the second of 11 children to James and Elizabeth Speer Buchanan on April 23, 1791 in Cove Gap, Pa., Buchanan on what many thought was the edge of western civilization in the Allegheny Mountains. When writing about his birthplace in 1865 the former president stated "It is a rugged but romantic spot, and the mountain and mountain stream under the scenery cape captivating. I have warm attachments for it..." In 1809 he graduated from Dickinson College in Carlisle, Pa., and at the age of 21 became a lawyer in the city of Lancaster. While there he became active in Federalist Party politics (the Federalist Party is the forerunner to the Democratic Party), and after serving in the War of 1812, was elected to two terms as a Pennsylvania Assemblyman from 1814 to 1816, maintaining his legal practice.

60. Introduction To James Buchanan’s Scholarship: A Personal Reminiscence For the first time in three decades, president Clinton announced in his 1999 backto 1880, the Musgrave/Peacock volume introduced us for the 1 buchanan, james. http://www.gmu.edu/jbc/fest/files/west.htm

First Encounters with James Buchanan’s Scholarship: A Personal Reminiscence by Edwin G. West, Carleton University As an economics teacher in England, the late 1950s and early 1960s was a relatively uninspiring intellectual period for me. While the discipline of economics was still absorbed with Keynes, microeconomics was usually engrossed in static neoclassical models of efficient allocation in contrast with market failure. Theories of government failure had not yet appeared, and when they did they came from the U.S. Prospects for me changed round about 1961 after I are received messages (directly or indirectly) from Harry Johnson to the effect that the real excitement and action was to be found, not in Europe, but in the U.S. And the subjects to look out for were: industrial organization, international trade, and public economics. Echoing these same sentiments, with respect to public economics, my Ph.D. supervisor, Jack Wiseman urged me to focus especially on what an economist by the name of James Buchanan was doing. My first acquaintance with Buchanan in print was his Public Principles of Public Debt , published in 1958. His discussion of the problem of the burden on future generations was remarkably penetrating, as was his attack on the notion that "we owe it to ourselves". His use of subjective cost concepts was important here in demonstrating that we do not owe the debt to ourselves, but that the burden is shifted to future generations. But what Buchanan was most critical of was the contemporary assumption of Keynesian economists such as Lerner and Tobin that deficits were not the cause of high interest rates, high taxation, and low growth. Reviving the classical position, Buchanan responded by focusing on the erosion of inherited traditions of discipline that held deficits in check. We have to recognize, he has since maintained, that the natural proclivities of citizens favor deficit financing because: "Constituents enjoy receiving the benefits of public outlays, and they deplore paying taxes. Elected politicians attempt to satisfy constituents."
