Best: Andrew Jackson
Worst: Abraham Lincoln
Wew
I'm assuming you're racist?
Whoa pal
Best: Alexander Hamilton. As the first black president I have to love him
That's a mighty big leap
Lincoln is generally considered the best president by historians
The only reason not to like him is racism
Lol
I dislike lincoln and am not racist
Best: Jackson or Jefferson
Worst: Obama
"If you don't agree with me you're racist"
Ok libtard
I dont hate the emacipation proclimation but he had some other bad ideas
Furthermore, Andrew Jackson refused to enforce Georgia vs. Cherokee Nation, which caused the trail of tears due to his Indian Removal Act of 1830
Good!
It's good that he refused to do his job?
someone woke up on the condescending side of the bed.
He is good because
1: he was a problem solver
2: he understood better than maybe any other president what it took for a republic to function.
3: The dude was objectively a badass
He was literally so bad, an opposition party formed
Most point to him as the end of the Era of Good Feelings
That happens a lot
Does it actually?
I mean really, how many times in history does that happen?
If it's not a new party it's the other party
Right, but rarely does a *new* party form against him
My point is that we have such a string divide in our politics that anyone could look back and call nearly any president terrible because people opposed him.
Thats beyond opposition
An entirely new country formed because of lincoln
Does that make him bad?
I would argue that it was because of Taylor
You could argue a lot
He refused to handle the situation properly during the lame duck period
As to whys secession was a consideration
I know why, Its the jews.
However lincoln being elected is what triggered secession
Right, but Taylor could have done anything to stop it
And he refused to
That's indirect
Furthermore, it's still hotly debated if states have the actual right to leave the union- all we can say for sure is that they entered a state of rebellion
