About this listen

James Buchanan entered the White House as the most experienced man in the room—and left it just as the Civil War began. In this episode, we explore how legalism, avoidance, and “calm restraint” helped push the United States toward catastrophe. A cautionary tale about leadership, paralysis, and the danger of mistaking neutrality for wisdom.
