Based purely on their significance (how they changed things in ways other men may not have done so) ....

1. FDR - 12 years as President gives you a lot of time to make changes.  His social programs and foreign intervention changed America and the world as a whole.

2. Thomas Jefferson - 2 words, Louisiana Purchase (literally doubled the size of the country).  2 more words, West Point (gave America its own training center for a professional army).

3. Abe Lincoln - Some men would have let the nation split.  Some men would not have excercised emmancipation.  Like him or not, he changed the nation.

4. LBJ - Great Society, escalation of Vietnam, civil rights.  During LBJ America grew up.

I think you need to reread the question.
