3 stars.

If he wasn't so useless in terms of stepping up and eliminating his cronies and the scandals that came as a result of his cronyism he would have been 4 at least.

He did a lot of good things:  destroyed the KKK for the most part, Civil Rights, relations with Britain, but error-ed in some ways as well: Panic of 1873, Reconstruction, the graft of his terms.  It equals out for me.

He was a great general but wasn't really personality wise right for the Executive job, but he wasn't all that bad either.
