Title
Letter from James Buchanan to Mr. William M. Wiley
Description
Letter from James Buchanan to Mr. William M. Wiley in which he discusses the Christiana Resistance and the Fugitive Slave Law, as well as the current state of politics, especially in Maryland. "The Christiana murder was a shocking affair. It will try the strength of the Fugitive Slave Law and I trust in God, that the court and jury of Lancaster County may do their duty. But is it not passing strange that Maryland alone, of all the slave holding states, should advocate a candidate for the Presidency who refused to vote for this very law? Without the Fugitive Slave Law, there would be no pretence of a compromise between the North and the South, all the other measures were favorable to the North and yet General Cass is glorified by his friends as the great author of the compromise. We are now struggling, and I trust successfully to maintain this law and upon its maintenance may probably depend the fate of the Union…" Wheatland, 24 September 1851.
Admin/Biographical History
James Buchanan was born on April 23, 1791 to James Buchanan and Elizabeth Speer. He was the second child born out of ten children, and he would go on to outlive all but one of his siblings. Most popularly remembered as Pennsylvania's only President and as a lifelong bachelor, Buchanan committed a lifetime to politics. In 1821, he left his law practice and embarked on his political career after having been voted into the U.S. House of Representatives. He would remain in the House for five consecutive terms before serving as the U.S. Minister to Russia, a Senator in the U.S. Senate, the U.S. Secretary of State, the U.S. Minister to Great Britain, and finally, the 15th President of the United States. He died in his bedchamber at Wheatland at 8:30 AM on June 1, 1868. He was 77 years old.
