Here are various Eras of American history grouped by president. Who'se the best in each group?
Your modern eras are too small
Revolutionaires: Uhhh... Madison, maybe? (I find this era in American history rather boring, and all the presidents are alike.)
Jacksonian: Taylor (I'd rather pick "NOTA" here, but Taylor was alright.)
Antebellum/Civil War: Lincoln (no question.)
Gilded Age: Garfield/Arthur (I have a soft spot for James Garfield, but Arthur was pretty cool, too)
New American Century: Taft (honorable mention for T. Roosevelt for his 1912 run)
1920's Republicans: Hoover (
PBrunsel)
Post-War to Veitnam: Kennedy...? (what a good era!)
Watergate: Carter ('cuz he's so much like I'd be if I were President)
Reaganite: Bush 41
Information Age: Too early to judge.
I urge all disaffected libruls who voted "Harrison" for the Jacksonian era to switch their vote to Zachary Taylor, a slaveholder who realized how seriously screwed up the South was that he ended up to the left of even many northerners on the issue by the time he died.
Also, any librul who votes for Jackson is no librul at all.
