The nation as well as Franklin Pierce faced a crisis over slavery, particularly over whether to allow slavery in new territories and states. Another issue was what do with slaves that escaped into a free state. The deeper issue was whether to abolish slavery in the whole country. Another related issue was the right of a state to secede from the union if it chose to do so. There was a long standing issue of protective tariffs which benefited Northern manufacturers at the expense of consumers.
Pierce also had problems within his political party. He was not in control. Although he was needed as a compromise candidate to win the election, his value declined sharply once he won the election. He could not count on party leaders in Congress to push his programs.
