About The Pierce Manse
The Pierce family lived in what is now known as the Pierce Manse from 1842-1848. Originally located on Montgomery Street in downtown Concord, the house was moved to its current location in 1971 after it was slated for demolition as part of urban renewal. Community volunteers, known as the Pierce Brigade, secured a land grant and raised the money necessary to relocate the house and restore the Manse to its original condition.
Needing a name that would differentiate Franklin and Jane's Concord home from his birthplace in Hillsborough, The Pierce Homestead, and the Pierce Mansion where he died, the home was named the Manse in 1969.
The name means a house lived in by its owner. The Salem, Massachusetts home of Pierce's long-time friend, Nathaniel Hawthorne, named the Old Manse, served as the inspiration for the Pierce Manse moniker.
The Pierce Brigade opened the house to the public in 1974 and continues to this day.

Franklin Pierce
Franklin Pierce (November 23, 1804 – October 8, 1869) was the 14th President of the United States (1853–1857), whose inability to calm tensions over slavery kept the country on the path to the American Civil War. Genial and well-spoken, Pierce was a northern Democrat who saw the abolitionist movement as a fundamental threat to the unity of the nation. His polarizing actions in championing and signing the Kansas–Nebraska Act and enforcing the Fugitive Slave Act failed to stem intersectional conflict, setting the stage for Southern secession, and leaving him widely regarded as one of the worst presidents in U.S. history.
Born and educated in New Hampshire, Pierce served in the U.S. House of Representatives and the Senate until he resigned from the latter in 1842. His private law practice in his home state was a success; he was appointed a U.S. Attorney in 1845. Pierce took part in the Mexican–American War as a brigadier general in the Army. Seen by Democrats as a compromise candidate uniting northern and southern interests, he was nominated as the party's candidate for president on the 49th ballot at the 1852 Democratic National Convention. In the 1852 presidential election, Pierce and his running mate William R. King easily defeated the Whig Party ticket of Winfield Scott and William A. Graham.

Franklin Pierce Documentary
Franklin Pierce was the 14th President of the United States . Pierce was a northern Democrat who saw the abolitionist movement as a fundamental threat to the unity of the nation. His polarizing actions in championing and signing the Kansas–Nebraska Act and enforcing the Fugitive Slave Act alienated anti-slavery groups while failing to stem intersectional conflict, setting the stage for Southern secession and the US Civil War. Historians and other scholars generally rank Pierce as among the worst of US Presidents.
Born in New Hampshire, Pierce served in the U.S. House of Representatives and the Senate until he resigned from the latter in 1842. His private law practice in his home state was a success; he was appointed U.S. Attorney for his state in 1845. Pierce took part in the Mexican–American War as a brigadier general in the Army. Seen by Democrats as a compromise candidate uniting northern and southern interests, he was nominated as the party's candidate for president on the 49th ballot at the 1852 Democratic National Convention. In the 1852 presidential election, Pierce and his running mate William R. King easily defeated the Whig Party ticket of Winfield Scott and William A. Graham.
While Pierce was popular and outgoing, his family life was a grim affair, with his wife Jane suffering from illness and depression for much of her life. All of their children died young, their last son being gruesomely killed in a train accident while the family was traveling shortly before Pierce's inauguration. As president, Pierce simultaneously attempted to enforce neutral standards for civil service while also satisfying the diverse elements of the Democratic Party with patronage, an effort which largely failed and turned many in his party against him. Pierce was a Young America expansionist who signed the Gadsden Purchase of land from Mexico and led a failed attempt to acquire Cuba from Spain. He signed trade treaties with Britain and Japan, while his Cabinet reformed their departments and improved accountability, but these successes were overshadowed by political strife during his presidency.
His popularity in the Northern states declined sharply after he supported the Kansas–Nebraska Act, which nullified the Missouri Compromise, while many whites in the South continued to support him. Passage of the act led to violent conflict over the expansion of slavery in the American West. Pierce's administration was further damaged when several of his diplomats issued the Ostend Manifesto, calling for the annexation of Cuba, a document which was roundly criticized. Although Pierce fully expected to be renominated by the Democrats in the 1856 presidential election, he was abandoned by his party and his bid failed. His reputation in the North suffered further during the Civil War as he became a vocal critic of President Abraham Lincoln. Pierce, who had been a heavy drinker for much of his life, died of severe cirrhosis of the liver in 1869.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Manchester is a city in the southern part of the U.S. state of New Hampshire. It is the most populous city in northern New England, an area comprising the states of Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont. As of the 2010 census the city had a population of 109,565, up slightly to 111,196 in a 2017 estimate. The combined Manchester-Nashua Metropolitan Area had a 2010 population of 400,721.Manchester is along with Nashua one of two seats of Hillsborough County, the state of New Hampshire's most populous. Manchester lies near the northern end of the Northeast megalopolis and straddles the banks of the Merrimack River. It was first named by the merchant and inventor Samuel Blodgett, namesake of Samuel Blodget Park and Blodget Street in the city's North End. His vision was to create a great industrial center similar to that of the original Manchester in England, which was the world's first industrialized city.Manchester often appears favorably in lists ranking the affordability and livability of U.S. cities, placing particularly high in small business climate, affordability, upward moblity, and education level.

Jane Means Appleton Pierce | MESOTHELIOMA US President MUP
In looks and in pathetic destiny young Jane Means Appleton resembled the heroine of a Victorian novel.The gentle dignity of her face reflected her sensitive, retiring personality and physical weakness.Her father had died--he was a Congregational minister, the Reverend Jesse Appleton, president of Bowdoin College--and her mother had taken the family to Amherst, New Hampshire.And Jane met a Bowdoin graduate, a young lawyer with political ambitions, Franklin Pierce.Although he was immediately devoted to Jane, they did not marry until she was 28 -- surprising in that day of early marriages.Her family opposed the match; moreover, she always did her best to discourage his interest in politics.The death of a three-day-old son, the arrival of a new baby, and Jane's dislike of Washington counted heavily in his decision to retire at the apparent height of his career, as United States Senator, in 1842.Little Frank Robert, the second son, died the next year of typhus.Service in the Mexican War brought Pierce the rank of brigadier and local fame as a hero.He returned home safely, and for four years the Pierces lived quietly at Concord, New Hampshire, in the happiest period of their lives.With attentive pleasure Jane watched her son Benjamin growing up.Then, in 1852, the Democratic Party made Pierce their candidate for President.His wife fainted at the news.When he took her to Newport for a respite, Benny wrote to her: I hope he won't be elected for I should not like to be at Washington and I know you would not either.But the President-elect convinced Jane that his office would be an asset for Benny's success in life.On a journey by train, January 6, 1853, their car was derailed and Benny killed before their eyes.The whole nation shared the parents' grief.The inauguration on March 4 took place without an inaugural ball and without the presence of Mrs.Pierce.She joined her husband later that month, but any pleasure the White House might have brought her was gone.From this loss she never recovered fully.Other events deepened the somber mood of the new administration: Mrs.Fillmore's death in March, that of Vice President Rufus King in April.Always devout, Jane Pierce turned for solace to prayer.She had to force herself to meet the social obligations inherent in the role of First Lady.Fortunately she had the companionship and help of a girlhood friend, now her aunt by marriage, Abigail Kent Means.Mrs.Robert E.Lee wrote in a private letter: I have known many of the ladies of the White House, none more truly excellent than the afflicted wife of President Pierce.Her health was a bar to any great effort on her part to meet the expectations of the public in her high position but she was a refined, extremely religious and well educated lady.With retirement, the Pierces made a prolonged trip abroad in search of health for the invalid--she carried Benny's Bible throughout the journey.The quest was unsuccessful, so the couple came home to New Hampshire to be near family and friends until Jane's death in 1863.She was buried near Benny's grave.The biographies of the First Ladies on WhiteHouse.gov are from “The First Ladies of the United States of America,” by Allida Black.Copyright 2009 by the White House Historical Association.
