This is a short (20,000 word) history of the United States in the time of President Franklin Pierce. Included in the Fable of Contents are segments on the Tony Burns Riot, the Caning of Senator Sumner, the Kansas-Nebraska Act, the Ostend Manifesto, the Erie Peanut War, the Perry Mission to Japan, troubles in Utah, and the Elections of 1852 and 1856. Pierce was a Doughface who never warmed up to Lincoln. The New Hampshire President liked to have a few drinks now and then. This book is intended as edutainment only, and do not attempt to write one of these books at home. One penny out of every 200 sales goes to FPS, the Foundation to Prevent Stupidity.
