Tall, stiffly formal in the high stock he wore around his jowls, James Buchanan was the only president who never married. Presiding over a rapidly dividing nation, Buchanan did not quite grasp the political realities of the time.
Buchanan’s anti-climactic annual message reinforced the perception that the Buchanan White House was weak, and that the President simply wanted to avoid war until he left office. After Lincoln’s inauguration, Buchanan retired to Pennsylvania to live a relatively quiet life.
In the lead-up to his inauguration, Buchanan and 400 others contracted a mysterious illness at Washington's National Hotel. Three dozen died from the " Buchanan Grip." In his inaugural address, Buchanan committed to serving only one term. Buchanan is the only president to have never married.
