He is the only president from Pennsylvania, the only president to remain a lifelong bachelor, and the last president born in the 18th century. Beginning in the 1820s, he represented Pennsylvania in the United States House of Representatives and later the Senate, then served as Minister to Russia under President Andrew Jackson. He emerged as one of the most prominent Democrats of the 1840s and 1850s, serving as Secretary of State under President James K. Polk and as Ambassador to the United Kingdom under President Franklin Pierce.
