Great Freemasons: James Buchanan, Jr. (April 23, 1791 – June 1, 1868)


I feel that my duty has been faithfully, though it may be imperfectly, performed, and, whatever the result may be, I shall carry to my grave the consciousness that I at least meant well for my country.
James Buchanan, Jr. (April 23, 1791 – June 1, 1868)

James Buchanan, Jr. was the 15th President of the United States (1857–1861), serving immediately prior to the American Civil War.
