John Cabell as Breckenridge. Breckenridge, 36, who was sworn in as the U.S. Vice President of the James Buchanan administration, was the youngest Vice President of the United States to date. Before he became the only Vice President who had been forced to flee the United States to escape accusations of treason, Breckenridge was actually a rather popular Vice President: Kentucky's legislature was impressed with him by electing him to the U.S. Senate a year and a half before his Vice President's term expired. After the rebels dropped the name in the chaotic 1860 presidential election (elected Abraham Lincoln), Brakenrich returned to Kentucky, when the Northern War broke out and called for the state to withdraw from the Confederation. But Kentucky remained in the Confederation, prompting Brakenrich to resign the senator and join the Southern Confederation army. But because Kentucky did not join the Confederation, his new warrior was concerned about the former senator and immediately accused him of treason. At the close end of the war, he managed to escape to Florida, where he borrowed a small boat. Brakenrich had a bad luck: the ship was attacked by pirates, when he drove a small boat away, the wind scattered the storm, he floated along the coast of The Brakenrich family is one of the most prominent political families in the United States, and over the past 200 years the Brakenrich family has raised a vice president, two federal senators, six federal senators and a cabinet secretary for the United States. Brakenrich's grandfather, John Brakenrich, was a U.S. senator and U.S. Attorney General, his son, Clifton R. Brakenrich, was a member of the U.S. Congress, and his grandson, Bonnie Brakenrich, was a famous director and actor.
