Pennsylvania's only president, [[James Buchanan]], proved a failure in allowing seven southern states to break away under his watch.  During the war Gettysburg was the scene of the war's most decisive battle,  July 1-3, 1863--and Pennsylvania furnished men and leaders, including generals George B. McClellan, Winfield S. Hancock, and George Meade and Adm. David D. Porter, for the Union army and navy. Philadelphia banker, Jay Cooke was the leading financier of  the Civil War; he invented a sytstem of savings bonds that allowed ordinary people to help finance the war.
