Best Answer

A dough face is a northern politician who supported southern positions (1820 to 1860). The term is derogatory and implies the dough face is weak willed and spineless. It was applied mostly to Northern Democrats who broke with their sectional interests. Presidents Pierce and Buchanan were both called dough faces.
