Appointed by his former college mate, President Franklin Pierce, Bridge held this post under various administrations, including the whole period of the Civil War. [PAR] [TLE] Franklin Pierce [SEP] Franklin Pierce (November 23, 1804October 8, 1869) was the 14th President of the United States (1853–57).  Pierce was a northern Democrat who saw the abolitionist movement as a fundamental threat to the unity of the nation.  His polarizing actions in championing and signing the Kansas–Nebraska Act and enforcing the Fugitive Slave Act alienated anti-slavery groups while failing to stem conflict between North and South setting the stage for Southern secession and the US Civil War.  Historians and other scholars generally rank Pierce among the worst of US Presidents.
