Mostly to win the election:
After a grueling World War I, while the rest of the world lay in shambles the United States had come out on top. Once a demigod amongst politicians, Woodrow Wilson, the president who had ideologically led the nation into and through the first global war, was scheduled for a humbling. His ideals were spurned and his popularity plummeted. Time was up for international ideals. In the elections of 1920, Warren G. Harding stepped up to the plate and announced that it was time for American to "return back to normalcy." This campaign appealed to those who had disliked US participation in the war and gave a sense of status-quo to war-weary veterans. As idealistic as Wilson had made the Great War to be, the American people were tired of it. This "return to normalcy" campaign paid off and Harding took office in 1921, beginning an era of massive economy growth.

What were Warren G. Harding's failures as president?
Pierce supported the passing of the Kansas- Nebraska Act that created the territories of Kansas and Nebraska but also let them decide whether to have slavery. Since Nebraska was certain to vote to be a free state Kansas would have to be slave state in order to keep the balance of slave and free states and both sides sent outsiders into Kansas to try to influence the election. Violence erupted and Pierce did not do anything effective to stop it. The division of the nation over slavery came to the forefront again and the Compromise of 1850 appeared doomed to failure. Instead of seeing an end to hostility over slavery, Pierce saw the situation grow worse.
Pierce also made a move to buy Cuba from Spain. which not only failed but caused a domestic and international uproar when news leaked that his administration was considering going to war to take Cuba if it could not be bought.
The failure of the Kansas-Nebraska act to diffuse the slavery issue was Pierce's downfall. Pierce pushed for its passage and contributed to the problem by failing to act quickly when violence broke out in Kansas.
