James Buchanan did not create the problem of the South succession prior to teh electoin of 1860, or after it, and yet his complete lack of any action on his part makes him judged as one of our worst presidnets of all time. Who knows what might have happened had he done something?
Even his general said, prior to the election, that fedreal troops should be moved to hotspots in teh south in case Lincoln was elected, in orde rto stop seccesion, and he rejected this sagely advice.
Could we havce reduced the length or the number of people killed in the Civil War? What would have happened then?
