Pierce was one of the weaker US presidents. He made a serious political miscalculation when he wholeheartedly supported the Kansas-Nebraska Act
which turned out to be a nightmare. There was also an international embarrassment when his plans to annex Cuba leaked out. His only child to live to adulthood was killed in a tragic accident just before he took office. This event caused a mental breakdown in his wife and Pierce seemingly became a heavy drinker which probably made things worse for him.
