Terrible not to see Lincoln earlier in this list.
"Of all the men I ever met, he seemed to possess more of the elements of greatness, combined with goodness, than any other."
Op changed his post but it had Washington and Lincoln already listed.
Couple of questions to continue this thread.
1. if Hamilton Burr duel had different outcome do you think Hamilton would have seemed the Presidency and if so how would he have done ??
2. If Kennedy isn't assassinated he likely wins the 64 election in landslide. How does that alter the framework of the next few elections ??
3. Keeping on assassination does Lincoln go for a third term or do you think he honors the tradition set by Washington and others of only seeking two terms ?
