My 4th favorite is Grant.  Although his administration had problems, I take presidents' entire lives into account.  Grant won the Civil War, and even as President, he defended the civil rights of blacks and Native Americans.

This.

Grant is the most underrated President in history.  Here is a man who fought the Ku Klux Klan and was committed to Civil Rights, so much so that he secured (at least Constitutionally) voting rights for non-whites in an era when it was nowhere close to popular.

I think that alone makes up for the corrupt appointees and his bumbling of the 1873 Panic.
