Buchanan lived in Wheatland, on west outskirts of Lancaster, and some Confederates reached Wrightsville but were kept out of Columbia and Lancaster County because a bridge was torched. Those Confederates headed west to join other Confederates at Gettysburg. [[User:Carlm0404|Carlm0404]] ([[User talk:Carlm0404|talk]]) 03:06, 19 June 2021 (UTC) |

At the top it says "As President, Buchanan intervened to assure the Supreme Court's majority ruling in the pro-slavery decision in the Dred Scott case." |

== Remove misleading links == |

The Dred Scott decision was decided only two days after James Buchanan was inaugurated as President. James Buchanan never made any public comments about the case prior to the decision. [[User:Revan5616|Revan5616]] ([[User talk:Revan5616|talk]]) 10:25, 12 September 2023 (UTC) |

Under "Romantic Life" which would more appropriately be entitled "Personal Life", there are two linked articles: 1) "List of federal political sex scandals in the United States" and 2) "Sodomy laws in the United States." Nothing in the Romantic Life section alludes to or provides evidence for a political sex scandal during James Buchanan's time as a politician, and nothing in the article implicates sodomy laws in the United States. Users are misled to infer from the inclusion of these linked articles that President Buchanan is linked to a sex scandal and/or violated a sodomy law in the United Staes, neither of which has evidentiary support. Suggest that these linked articles be removed from this section. [[User:Taylorjharris|Taylorjharris]] ([[User talk:Taylorjharris|talk]]) 03:21, 27 April 2023 (UTC) |
