In 1860, President James Buchanan sought to avoid controversy over slavery as the nation was on the brink of civil war. He believed that the issue should be resolved through compromise rather than conflict, and he did not take a strong stance against the expansion of slavery. Buchanan's indecisive approach and failure to address the growing tensions contributed to the deepening divide in the country. His presidency is often criticized for its inability to navigate the looming crisis effectively.
