Buchanan may still be the worst [US president]. It’s pretty bad when the Civil War starts at the end of your term.

I thought the Civil War began in April 1861; and that James Buchanan had left office about a month earlier. Is that not correct?

The first state to secede, South Carolina, did so in December 1860, as a direct result of Lincoln's election one month prior.

Yes. The Confederate States of America were declared in February 1861, prior to Lincoln's inauguration.

Really? His incompetence doesn’t match the pure evil of Wilson, FDR or Johnson.
