Four stars, a top ten president and the most underrated of them all. He was too trusting and failed to adequately respond to the Panic of 1873 but beyond that he was highly successful - no president in the century between the Civil War and the Civil Rights Movement did more for the rights of African Americans (15th Amendment, Department of Justice, wiping out the KKK, etc). He managed a successful foreign policy that improved relations with Great Britain, established our first national park, and pursued a Native American peace policy that, while not always successful, was considerably more progressive than that of his successors.
