Below you will find a list of my top favorite Presidents of the United States throughout the history of the United States. They are listed in ascending order.
5. Andrew Jackson
Jackson has always been one of my favorite presidents. Perhaps the reason has something to do with the fact my middle name is Andrew (although it is not my namesake). But I have always been a fan of Andrew Jackson. He allegedly let his temper get the best of him on many occasions and was even rumored to wear a bullet around his neck from a wound he received in a duel. Andrew Jackson adds quite a bit of toughness to the reputation of the United States. He is the original "don't-mess-with-that-guy" guy.
4. Abraham Lincoln
Where Andrew Jackson adds toughness to the history of the United States, Lincoln adds heart. He is one of the favorites for many United Statesians. I mean, the dude has a monument in Washington, D.C., depicting him sitting. Just sitting. Lincoln is known for his Gettysburg Address, which decreed the freeing of slaves in the United States. If I were to base this list off of popular culture, Honest Abe would be number 1 on this list due to the film Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter.
3. Harry S. Truman
Truman has always been near the top of my favorite presidents. The main reason is the fact he was born and raised in Missouri. This is clearly a biased decision, but everyone has a bit of hometown spirit.
2. George Washington
Obviously the first man to be the first president of our baby country is going to be near the top of any list of favorite presidents. Also being the inspiration of a monument in D.C., Washington is revered and honored by all United States citizens.
1. Thomas Jefferson
Leading the pack is the one and only Thomas Jefferson. A spokesperson for freedom and democracy, this Founding Father inspired a country before it was a country. Credited with writing a majority of the Declaration of Independence, we owe our freedom to this man. Well done, sir.
