It's a tie for me between FDR and Andrew Jackson

Kudos to whoever mentioned Polk, though. Manifest Destiny ftw

Lots of people don't care for the way Lincoln ran the country... Not just Southerners.


Jefferson or Jackson for me... If I had to pick one I'd say Jackson cause I have respect for him as a person and not just a president.

the greatest thing that can happen to a legacy is having your career cut short

Because I've rarely seen him discussed among the best or favorite Presidents until this thread. His two biggest legacies are the Indian Removal Act and the birth of the two party system, neither of which are much cause for celebration.

I guess I feel like I'm missing something.

Those are his two biggest legacies?
War of 1812? Battle of New Orleans? First Seminole war?

You're welcome.

The more people with political apathy, the more your vote matters.
