Explanation:

Franklin Pierce was the United States President between 1853 to 1857. His administration was marred by a lot of controversies particularly the event known as Bleeding Kansas.

In 1855 during the election to determine if Kansas were to be added as a Slave state or not, the process was marred by fraud and eventually led to violence.
