Re: top ten best U.S. presidents.

Thanks for the help. Here is my list
1.Franklin D. Roosevelt – FDR pulled the U.S. Out of the great depression. He got Americans working. Some people said that he just made jobs to get people off the streets and payed very little to them. But Americans needed jobs. Also the Projects that he built are still improving our lives today. He also was president during WWII.

2.George Washington – Our founding father, Washington led the Revolutionary War. Every man wanted him to be king. But he refused. All presidents accept FDR fallowed the Idea to serve at most two terms even before the constitution was amended. Washington also knew the Problems between the North and South. The reason why he is second on my list is because People know more about what he did before he was president than what he did when he was president.

3.Tomas Jefferson - The Principal author of the Declaration of Independence. One of his major events during his time in office was the Louisiana Perchance. A political philosopher who promoted republicanism, and the separation of church and state.
"I think this is the most extraordinary collection of talent, of human knowledge, that has ever been gathered at the White House, with the possible exception of when Thomas Jefferson dined alone." - President John F. Kennedy as he welcomed forty-nine Nobel Prize winners to the White House in 1962

4.Theodore Roosevelt – Roosevelt regulated many businesses including the Railroad and meet processing industries. He also pushed for the passage of the Meat Inspection Act and the Pure Food and Drug Act. These acts protected citizens form unsafe working conditions and unsafe food and drugs. He also perfected the environment form pollution.

5.James Madison – The war of 1812 was fought because the British Navy was capturing American sailors and drafting them into their army. This war was fought to prove the independence of the U.S. It showed other countries that the United States would not be pushed around. People believe that this war was a mistake because we knew that the British was passing a law to prevent capturing American sailors. But Truman did not know what the British were doing, the only thing he knew was that the British was attacking American ships.

6.Harry Truman - Truman's presidency was eventful in foreign affairs, starting with victory over Germany, the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the surrender of Japan and the end of World War II, founding the United Nations, the Marshall Plan to rebuild Europe, the beginning of the Cold War, the creation of NATO, and the Korean War.

7.Woodrow Wilson – Woodrow Wilson tried to keep America out of WWI But Germany pushed America into war after attacking American ships and trying to make a treaty with Mexico. But personally I think that the U.S should have entered the war earlier. Because Germany continued to attack U.S. Ships even after they said they would stop, and they tried to sign a treaty with Mexico to get Mexico to attack the U.S.

8.Abraham Lincoln – Lincoln wanted to keep the Union together. Even though he was against slavery he would have kept it to keep the south from succeeding. He freed the slaves to get the abolitionists in Europe on the side of the Union. Because Europe was mad at the Union for drafting immigrants into the army as soon as they stepped off the ships at. Lincoln plan was to have the supreme court declare the law against slavery constitutional as they did in the Dred Scott decision. Lincoln was going to let the southern states rejoin the union with very little punishment. Its amazing how a lead bullet can change history.

9.Dwight Eisenhower – well Eisenhower was in office, he preached a doctrine of Dynamic Conservatism. Although he maintained a rigorously conservative economic policy, his social policies were fairly liberal. While he worked to reduce the size of government, contain inflation, and lower taxes, he simultaneously created the Department of Health, Education and Welfare, and joined congress in raising minimum wage from seventy-five cents to a dollar per hour, and extended benefits of social security to 10 million more Americans. He said that the United States would defend countries in the middle east from communist attack.

10.George W. Bush – During 9/11 Bush gave America support. He gave everyone hope. He also showed that we will not give into terrorist acts. He also started hurting the terrorists that planned the 9/11 attacks. It is my personal opinion that the United States should have entered the war with Iraq, Put the problem we have today is that the army stuck restrictions on the people living in Iraq (ex can't pass road blocks without a pass) well trying to stop terrorist attacks these people in rebelling against the restrictions. The guest speaker that we had in history told the story about the family he was living with. he said that one of the sons was killed in a car bomb, and the daughter was training to become a suicided bomber to get revenge. For some odd reason that just does not make since to me.
