1. Abraham Lincoln
2. George Washington
3. James Madison
4. Thomas Jefferson
5. Gerald Ford
6. Ulysses S. Grant
7. John F. Kennedy
8. John Quincy Adams
9. Zachary Taylor
10. Martin Van Buren

Jefferson would be a bit lower, but his actual progress far outweighs his personal problems.

Freedom list.  Lincoln was definitely the greatest.  Grant and JQA are criminally underrated and would be on my list too.  JFK is overrated though (even if he was pretty good), and some such as Ford and Van Buren were decent, but would not be on my top ten list.

Somewhere in between FL and HL--no Wilson or LBJ, yes, but also no Coolidge.

And I pegged you as someone who'd like Eisenhower a lot.

I find it bizarre that I agree with 7/10 of these picks.

Even though Coolidge is less responsible for the Great Depression compared to Woodrow Wilson, Warren Harding, and Herbert Hoover, he kept Hoover on as Commerce Secretary and Mellon on as Treasury Secretary. Besides that, he also race baited Irish-Americans, IIRC, turning off the Kennedy family from the GOP.

Eisenhower was less pro-civil rights than Truman or Dewey. He was a bit racist for his time even, though not as bad as LBJ.

The fact that Ford is at 5 and Kennedy is at 7 disqualifies this list from being taken seriously.

Some weird choices, Ford, JQA, and Van Buren are basically never on anyone's lists. You seem to like presidents who didn't serve full terms too (Ford, JFK, Taylor). Good on having Jefferson near the top.

Ford and Kennedy are my only modern Presidents on the list.

John Quincy Adams and Zachary Taylor both are far underrated when you realize just how anti-slavery they were. Both of them also did a great deal for the American economy at the time.

Semi-freedom list. I like all of these except Van Buren and Taylor.
