John Tyler
After the death of William Henry Harrison, John Tyler succeeded him as the 10th President of the United States. He became the first person to take over the administration after the death of the incumbent president, and he was in office from 1841 to 1845. When it came to the question of slavery, Tyler took a rather “passive” stance by letting the states decide for themselves. He made a number of enemies in the government, and he was even dubbed “His Accidency.” They attempted to overthrow him, the first attempted impeachment in US history, though they did not succeed. Tyler also conducted treaty negotiations with China and Britain.

Franklin Pierce
The 14th President of the United States was considered to be, to say the least, a controversial person. He criticized the abolitionist movement by calling it “a fundamental threat to the unity of the nation.” During his term, the Kansas-Nebraska act was put in place, and this allowed the residents of new territories to make the decision to criminalize slavery. Aside from this, he was also quite the alcoholic, something he allegedly got from his mother.
