James Garfield would be my vote for most qualified actually, not necessarily the same. Civil War General, Congress, Professor, Minister IIRC and was known be very knowledgeable of the issues of the day.

The country really missed out by losing him to an assassin.

He was a Dixiecrat case closed he believes Blks were an inferior race, D's before FDR said that the 13/14/15 Didn't apply to Blks but the BILL OF RIGHTS DIDNT SAY BLKS WERE FREE THEN BLKS WERENT FREE THATS WHY WE HAD CHAIN GANGS UNTIL 1955 WITHOUT PUBLIC DEFENDER


There was no conceptualization of being a Dixiecrat in 1828, he was just a Democrat being its first President and he defined what the party was going to be for the next 100 years plus. Opposed to the financial, industrial and Wall Street elite, pro-immigrant and yes unfortunately, racist as all hell. Though I am not sure you would have had much better luck with some of his opponents, like say John C Calhoun who he threatened to hang over the nullification crisis.

20 years later and after his death, his wing man would be leading the Free Soil Party along with many other Jacksonian Democrats in the Northern states. Backwards projection of historical conceptualization will always lead to problems.
