RE: Lincoln Is the Most Effective US President, According to Historians
These types of rankings make for good water cooler talk and that's about it. What exactly is a "presidential historian" anyway?

He presided over the divided land through most of the Civil War, which ended with the nation united again, and shepherded through Congress the Emancipation Proclamation, which freed the slaves. His life was also the classic American success story in that he started out extremely poor in Kentucky. However, his life was cut short after the war, when he was assassinated by pro-slavery advocate John Wilkes Booth while attending a theater production in Washington, D.C. If this summary was written by AI, it needs to go back to school. "So very difficult a matter is it to trace and find out the truth of anything by history." -- Plutarch |
