ExclusiveJane Pierce: The Saddest First Lady

Jane Pierce arguably has the saddest story of any first lady in American history. As the wife of fourteenth president Franklin Pierce, she prayed daily that her husband would lose the election, since she detested the political life he pursued off and on throughout his life. Differing with her husband on matters of politics, abolition, abstinence, and religion, she was a deeply devout woman who believed the tragic death of their sons was caused by her husband’s ungodly political career.
