David Rice Atchison
David Rice Atchison (August 11, 1807January 26, 1886) was a mid-19th century Democratic〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=David Rice Atchison Biography )〕 United States Senator from Missouri.〔 He served as President pro tempore of the United States Senate for six years. He is best known for the claim that for one day (March 4, 1849) he may have been Acting President of the United States.〔(President for a Day? David Rice Atchison )〕 This belief, however, is dismissed by nearly all historians, scholars, and biographers.〔(United States Senate, Art and History, History Minute: March 4, 1849-President for A Day ) reports on the claims of Atchison's one-day presidency but then rebutes the veracity of the story.〕
Atchison, owner of many slaves and a plantation, was a prominent pro-slavery activist and Border Ruffian leader, deeply involved with violence against abolitionists and other free-staters during the "Bleeding Kansas" events.〔McPherson, James M., ''Battle Cry of Freedom'', Penguin Books, 1990, ISBN 978-0-14-012518-4 p.145~148〕〔Stampp, Kenneth, ''America in 1857: a nation on the brink'', Oxford University Press US, 1992, ISBN 0-19-507481-5, p.145〕〔Grimsted, David, ''American Mobbing, 1828-1861: Toward Civil War'', Oxford University Press US, 2003, ISBN 0-19-517281-7, p.256〕〔Freehling, William W., ''The Road to Disunion: Secessionists triumphant, 1854-1861'', Oxford University Press US, 2007,ISBN 0-19-505815-1, p.72~73〕
