Who was the best President?

[kairos12]

32. Despite the practically insurmountable challenges

he faced as CinC of Union Forces in the war he was responsible for passing and signing:
1. The Homestead Act
2. Morrill Act-which established the land grants for Universities in all the States
3. He established the laws for a National Banking system and National Currency.

I think these are just a few examples of his legacy to us.

In terms of the war I suppose if he had found Grant and Sherman at the beginning of War maybe it would have been shorter. But, I think the Union wasn't prepared for the slaughter Grant foresaw at the beginning of the war. To me is it is unimaginable the pressure he must have been under. He had Cabinet that was able but often undermined him, a Congress that saw him as a bumpkin, and an entrenched military staff that resisted his calls for renewed offenses against the South.

That's how I see it.
