The history of Ulysses S Grant is a tough one to decipher. For the majority of historians, Grant was a terrible president yet modern day historians have begun to look on his legacy more favorably.
‘Portrait’ Talk
Andrew Jackson
Monday, August 31st, 2009Andrew Jackson was a tough man, built of pure gristle – a tack & nails kind of guy. I imagine him as the type of man who gets shot and keeps fighting, unwilling to go down.
John Quincy Adams
Monday, August 24th, 2009The first son of a former president, John Quincy Adams’ presidency was far from a glorious one. He accomplished far more prior to and after being president than he ever did in office.
James Monroe
Monday, August 17th, 2009James Monroe was the 5th President of the United States and the last of the Founding Fathers to hold the office. He was President from 1817 to 1825.
James Madison
Monday, August 10th, 2009James Madison was the 4th President of the United States was President from 1809-1817. He is one of the most distinguished statesmen in the history of our country, yet his 8 years in office are commonly considered as a blemish.
Thomas Jefferson
Monday, August 3rd, 2009Thomas Jefferson, the third President of the United States and author of the Declaration of Independence, was President from 1801 to 1809.
John Adams
Monday, July 27th, 2009John Adams, the second US President, was President from 1797 to 1801. Though he was a fairly intolerable man, the legacy he left is lasting. He kept the US out of war by maintaining peace and firmly established both a separate division for the Navy and a stronger base for the Army.
George Washington
Monday, July 20th, 2009George Washington, the first President of the United States, was President for two terms from 1789-1797 before neglecting to take a third term. He died December 14th, 1799.
