- James Buchanan was the President of the United States who immediately preceded Abraham Lincoln. Paul LeVal wrote to Will Johnson on 19 December 1860, and opined that Buchanan was "perceived as being friendlier to the South than Mr. Lincoln".

- thumb|250px|James Buchanan.James Buchanan Jr. (Pennsylvania, 23 april 1791 - Pennsylvania, 1 juni 1868) was de 15de President van de Verenigde Staten. Hij volgde president Franklin Pierce op in maart 1857, om vervolgens opgevolgd te worden door Abraham Lincoln in maart 1861. In het zuiden werd hij de facto opgevolgd door Jefferson Davis als president van de afgescheiden Geconfedereerde Staten van Amerika in februari 1861, al bleef Buchanan de jure president van de Zuidelijke staten tot het einde van zijn termijn. Hij was een Democratische president.
- James Buchanan (1804-1870), minister and theologian, was ordained in the Church of Scotland in 1827. In 1828 he commenced a very successful ministry at North Leith where he gained a great reputation as an earnest and eloquent preacher of the Word of God. In 1845 he was appointed to the Chair of Apologetics at New College, Edinburgh, and in 1847 he succeeded Chalmers as Professor of Systematic Theology. He retired in 1868 and died two years later. His two most notable works were The Office and Work of the Holy Spirit and The Doctrine of Justification.
- James Buchanan was the President of the United States during the mid 19th century. While President, Buchanan was visited by Edward, Prince of Wales, and Buchanan decided that the White House Residence did not have enough room for guests, and the offices should be moved elsewhere.
- James Buchanan Jr. was a Democrat who was in office just before Abraham Lincoln and the Civil War. In those the Democratic Party was far more Conservative than it is today. Buchanan supported Slavery despite being a Northerner. James Buchanan was considered one of the worst Presidents of the United States. Later Buchanan supported Lincoln during the Civil War. Buchanan vacillated saying and doing first one thing then another. Civil War didn't quite happen during the Buchanan presidency but started soon after.
- James Buchanan was the only President to never marry (his niece fulfilled the duties of First Lady). He was engaged to a woman at one point, but they broke up and she died (likely suicide) shortly after. Although each of the three previous Presidents had played a part in creating the circumstances that led to the Civil War (Zachary Taylor's belligerent approach to the slave states got things off on the wrong foot, Millard Fillmore created an ultimately ill-advised compromise agreement, and Franklin Pierce proceeded to piss off the slave states by breaking the terms of said agreement), the final, fatal lurch towards the conflict happened on Buchanan's watch.
- James Buchanan was born on July 21, 2599 to George Buchanan and Margaret McAfee in the Region of Hulstria of Greater Hulstria. Buchanan is married to Mary McAleese and has three sons; James, Alexander, and Zacchaeus. In June 2662 he committed suicide after the huge defeat of his party, which was interpreted by the VFA as a sign that the Hulstrians have no interest in rights. The full circumstances surrounding the suicide remain unknown. Close friend and justice adviser, Kenzo Noda succeeded Buchanan as the Chairwoman of the VFA. His son, Zacchaeus became the new Vice Chairman.

Douglas for control of the Democratic Party.

Buchanan's inaction during the secession of Southern states during the last months of his term (leading to the American Civil War), as well as most of the policies he followed during his term as president, have firmly established Buchanan as one of the worst Presidents of U.S. history.

As President, he was often called a "doughface", a Northerner with Southern sympathies, who battled with Stephen A. Douglas for the control of the Democratic Party. Buchanan's efforts to maintain peace between the North and the South alienated both sides, and the Southern states declared their secession in the prologue to the American Civil War.

In his party he was known for many reasons. Critics call him an Islamophobe for his skepticism and suspicion of Islam, and Christians dislike him for his criticism of the Religious Right and evangelicalism. He also was a strong supporter of the theory of evolution. Despite being a liberal, some of his beliefs if viewed alone could lead some to view him as far-right.

By the time he left office, popular opinion was against him, and the Democratic Party had split. Buchanan had once aspired to a presidency that would rank in history with that of George Washington. However, his inability to impose peace on sharply divided partisans on the brink of the Civil War has led to his consistent ranking by historians as one of the worst presidents in American history. Historians in both 2006 and 2009 voted his failure to deal with secession the worst presidential mistake ever made.
- James Buchanan was the only President to never marry (his niece fulfilled the duties of First Lady). He was engaged to a woman at one point, but they broke up and she died (likely suicide) shortly after. Although each of the three previous Presidents had played a part in creating the circumstances that led to the Civil War (Zachary Taylor's belligerent approach to the slave states got things off on the wrong foot, Millard Fillmore created an ultimately ill-advised compromise agreement, and Franklin Pierce proceeded to piss off the slave states by breaking the terms of said agreement), the final, fatal lurch towards the conflict happened on Buchanan's watch. Buchanan began his political career in the House of Representatives in 1814. He was not popular with fellow politicians. Andrew Jackson gave him the position of Minister to Russia in an attempt to keep him out of the country, where he would, in Jackson's words, "do the least harm". Unfortunately, this lead to the impression that he had serious diplomatic/political credentials. This post was followed by time in the Senate, as Secretary of State, and as Minister to Great Britain. Part of the reason he was elected was because he had been out of the country for the past four years as an ambassador and was able to avoid blame for the Kansas-Nebraska Act. He led America into the Civil War by attempting to maintain the status quo: enforcing the Fugitive Slave Act and opposing abolitionist activism. Like most leaders at the time, he was utterly bewildered at the current high stakes conditions, so he just decided to... do nothing and try to maintain the Union until a solution appeared. It didn't help that he ordered the invasion of Utah for the purpose of persecuting an unpopular Christian denomination. Is often believed to have been a closeted gay man, who allegedly had a long relationship with Alabama senator William King (who became Franklin Pierce's Vice-President, but died only six weeks into his term, and just under four years before Buchanan became president). The truth died with Buchanan, since his relatives burned his diaries and personal documents upon his death, as per his request. Buchanan once said that "History will vindicate me." It didn't. Much like Neville Chamberlain who would come 60 years after him, regardless of any of his other accomplishments, his legacy is ultimately judged on his reaction to the greatest challenge facing his nation. Buchanan's desire to merely maintain the status quo (to the point that he would say that while secession was illegal, military force to stop secession was also illegal) did nothing to mend a bitterly divided nation. By the end, as his page quote shows, he was only interested in holding off civil war long enough for him to get out of office and leave the problems to the next president. Today, he is considered to be one of the worst if not the worst President in US history. A one-minute biography of the guy can be found here.

James Buchanan was born in a log cabin at Cove Gap, near Mercersburg, Franklin County, Pennsylvania, on April 23, 1791, to James Buchanan and Elizabeth Speer. He was the second of 10 children, two of whom did not survive past infancy. The Buchanan family claims descent from King James I of Scotland. He later attended the village academy and graduated from Dickinson College, in Carlisle, Pennsylvania. At one point, he was expelled from Dickinson for wild behavior and bad conduct, but after pleading for a second chance, he graduated with honors three years later on September 7, 1809.[6] Later that year he moved to Lancaster, Pennsylvania. For the next three years he studied law and was admitted to the bar in 1812. A dedicated Federalist, he strongly opposed the War of 1812 on the grounds that it was an unnecessary conflict. Nevertheless, when the British invaded neighboring Maryland, he joined a volunteer light dragoon unit and served in the defense of Baltimore.
