Not one of the pictures has anything to do with the content. Ditch the video and keep the audio.

Excellent job

It's hard for any Democratic Presidential Candidate to win a two-thirds supermajority. This includes an incumbent President or an Ex-President. In 1856, Pierce was able to get a majority, but not a two-thirds supermajority. Although Buchanan has been around for decades, he's also tried the nomination for three-times before (1844, 1848, and 1852). On paper, he might have the gravitas to be an effective President, there were three Democratic Presidents, who couldn't stand him and put him as either Secretary of State or as an Envoy. This kept Buchanan (nominally) out of politics and from making a stand on various issues.

It would be nice if the pictures sort of resembled the actual person

Wait. Pierce was not black?

[@jamellfoster6029]

His was a very tragic life. Outliving all of his children is heartbreaking.

You must have used Google to generate these images. Pierce is my ancestor and definitely was not black.
