Re: President Donald Trump Has Just Made Washington D.C. Safer

Buchannon was not directly responsible for the Dred Scott decision. But did nothing as far as critising it. In fact he went out of his way to support it and would throw his weight in favor of a pro-slavery constitution. That just widened the gap between the North and South.
Simply put, he was a moderate Democrat well endowed with legal knowledge and experience in government, he lacked the soundness of judgment and conciliatory personality to deal effectively with the slavery crisis and failed to avert the American Civil War (1861–65).
