Not by any stretch of the imagination I can conjure. As one of the pre-war compromises Kansas was left to decide whether it would be slave or free by a vote of those who settled there. This stimulated a migration to Kansas of anti-slavery abolitionists, which eventually assured that Kansas entered the Union as a free state. The abolitionists founded the town of Lawrence, Kansas, which was a hateful place to pro-slavery groups, and this was why the town was attacked and burned in a raid by Quantrill's raider's in 1863, with many townsmen slaughtered. Before the actual Civil War began there was a mini civil war between abolitionists who had moved to Kansas, known as "Jayhawkers", and pro-slavery Missouri "Red Legs". John Brown, later hung for his raid on Harper's Ferry in 1859, first was among the abolitionists who moved to Kansas, where, with his sons, he murdered several slave owners. All this violence gave Kansas the eventual nickname "Bleeding Kansas". These events are so important in the state's heritage that the University of Kansas athletic teams are today the "Jayhawks".

The dominance of individual states in the South prevented unified economic actions, such as taxes to support the various Confederate armies. The states could not agree on many policies, which impaired the coordination of military efforts.
Texas could and did secede from the Union with the rest of the Confederate states. Texas declared its secession from the United States in 1861 to join the Confederate States of America.
The Confederate States was not formed until 1861, so how could they have had a Presidnt in the 1850?
The president of the US is elected for a four year term and could be relected; however a president of the Confederate States could only serve one six year term.

Buchanan could have prevented war by not allowing the Confederate to separate from the Union. Buchanan could have also acted differently on issues of slavery, especially in Kansas.

Only if you could travel back in time before the CSA lost the Civil War. Confederate money was only valid while the Confederate States existed.
