'Presidents who have indirectly killed noncombatants/civilians while in office'
Biden gave the Pentagon discretionary control over drone strikes in Afghanistan, which then resulted in deaths. Trump ordered multiple strikes in the middle east that killed civilians. Obama did the drone strike thing Bush II started the war on terror Clinton did the Bosnia thing Bush I presided over the Gulf War and was probably involved in Iran-Contra Reagan did Grenada and a whole bunch of Iran-Contra stuff. Carter almost certainly did during the Lebanon intervention. Ford did when he presided over the Cambodian Civil War intervention Nixon presided over years of Vietnam, which is self explanatory Johnson presided over the ramping up of Vietnam Kennedy also presided over Vietnam and the Bay of Pigs. Eisenhower ordered the initial intervention in Vietnam via military advisors. Truman finished WWII and had Korea happen. Roosevelt II had most of WWII Hoover issued orders that indirectly would lead to the death of two Bonus Army members. Coolidge presided over multiple Banana War conflict occupations Harding presided over the final native uprising and the Banana wars. Wilson did World War One Taft ordered the initial invasion of Nicaragua. Roosevelt I allowed the suppression of revolts in the Philippines. McKinley involved the US in the Boxer rebellion and the Spanish-American war. Cleveland ordered the defeat of several native tribes. Harrison ordered the Pine Ridge campaign against the Sioux. Arthur also allowed native suppression measures Garfield also allowed native suppression measures Hayes also ordered the elimination of several native tribes. Grant fought several native tribes, most notably the Battle of Little Big Horn. Johnson allowed multiple native massacres, including one by George Armstrong Custer Lincoln presided over the Civil War, including the Battle of Atlanta, where General Sherman allowed/encouraged multiple war crimes. Lincoln promoted him to Major General a few months later. This was actually a good decision but it still counts. Buchanan allowed more native massacres. He didn't order them but his policy allowed troops to do as they saw fit. Pierce began the war on the Navajo and the Mormon Wars. Fillmore ramped up the Apache Wars Taylor escalated the Cayuse war Polk presided over the Mexican American war Van Buren did the Seminole 'relocation' program. Jackson di- do I really have to go into this? John Quincy Adams ordered the Winnebago war. Monroe started the first Seminole war. Madison presided over the War of 1812. Jefferson presided over the Barbary War and multiple native suppression measures. Adams presided over the Quasi War, where multiple civilian merchants were likely killed in retaliation against the French. Washington started the native american suppression tradition.
Washington-Jefferson could also be included for allowing the slave trade.
