Did James Buchanan do anything good? It’s a great question.
James Buchanan was the 15th President of the United States. He served from 1857 to 1861.
Formerly a member of congress, minister to Russia, a senator, Secretary of State and Minister to the United Kingdom, he defeated John Fremont to win the election.
Buchanan didn’t contest the election of 1860 which was won by Abraham Lincoln.
Did he do anything good while in office? This depends who you ask. Most lists rank Buchanan as one of the worst Presidents the United States has had.
