Which US president hailed from New Hampshire?
On this day in 1869, President Ulysses S. Grant announced the death of former President Franklin Pierce. Pierce's presidency was remembered mostly for his failure to end the debate over slavery. He died at his home in Concord, New Hampshire.
Pierce was, and still remains the only president to hail from New Hampshire.

Being Canadian I get some of these wrong but like to learn listening to criticisms as well.

williamrlaughlin, I am more irritated by repeated sniping about "how did this pass review." Certainly we can point out the legitimate issues, as you have done, but your rudeness and negative attitude do tend to get on my nerves.

williamrlaughlin, I think Jonespro does the incessant thank you to try and be encouraging. Seems to be a cheerleader type. He is irritating to me also, but people are who they are.
