This is part of a series called Presidential Free Association. I post the first word that comes to mind when I hear the name of the president, along with a brief explanation.

Franklin
Pierce was elected in 1852 basically for being inoffensive. He was a
northerner who was pro-slavery and generally unknown. Perhaps most
importantly, he was a good-looking man. He is still considered one of
our most handsome presidents, which is impressive given that he lived in
a time without modern standards of hygiene. However, his dashing good
looks couldn’t help him repair an increasingly divided nation, and he is
generally considered to be one of our worst presidents. Handsome is as
handsome does.
