    For fans of history: In Pursuit with Colleen Shogan

    Introducing Franklin Pierce Fails to Read the Room from In Pursuit with Colleen Shogan. Follow the show: In Pursuit with Colleen Shogan Franklin Pierce had all the makings of a successful president - the experience, the military service, the charm - and yet he is often remembered as one of America's worst chief executives. So how did a man with such a fine resume plunge the nation deeper into crisis over the expansion of slavery? Colleen Shogan talks with Pulitizer Prize-winner author David W. Blight about Pierce's pedigree, the Northern Democrat's pro-Southern sympathies, and his misreading of national politics on the eve of the Civil War. David W. Blight is the Sterling Professor of History at Yale University. He is the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Frederick Douglass: Prophet of Freedom (2018).  Read Blight's essay on Franklin Pierce at https://www.inpursuit.org. INFO:Tell us who inspires you: https://www.inpursuit.org/join.Please leave a rating and review on Apple, Spotify, or your favorite podcast app. It helps other listeners find the show.Watch all episodes on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@InPursuitUSA.Hosted by Colleen Shogan, Ph.D. Written and Produced by Jim Ambuske, Ph.D. Audio mixing by Curt Dahl of CD Squared.
