When James Buchanan took office in 1857, the estimated population of the United States was around 31 million people. This period marked significant growth due to factors like westward expansion and Immigration. Buchanan served as president during a time of increasing tensions over slavery, which would ultimately lead to the Civil War. The population continued to rise rapidly in the following decades.
