Only correct answer if you live in Virginia, Kentucky, Arkansas, South Carolina, Louisiana, Missouri, Alabama.
His great great grandson served as Congressman from Kentucky and died a year after leaving office. John was a Lieutenant Colonel in the US Army in WW II. RIP

Well, not being born yet might have been a bigger factor. ;)
Without Breckinridge and others of his family, you might be Mexican now.
Of course Arkansas and Missouri were not yet organized and neither would be SEC charter schools either. : big casty : At least South Carolina and Texas A&M were in the old SIAA.

I would have voted for the greatest president this country has ever had. It would have been epic to have a Lincoln/Reagan ticket. But Reagan was only 30 at the time.

True, but with Washington's wife and Adams's cousin both in the beer trade, those first few elections you could really get hammered.

Imagine a modern-day Mexico that includes California and Texas. Wow, they'd be stronger than Canada.
