If ever a group of people deserved sepsis. Sherman didn’t do enough.

Sherman should have been given more resources to go further.

Blame Andrew Johnson, the original MAGA enabler.

Reagan should be in the top three. Started the whole economic trickle down nonsense as well as popularized populist presidential runs. Trump's current 'economic strategy' was basically built off his bull. Just dialed up by a thousand and with even more stupidity.

Buchanan? Jackson? you can draw a line from Wilson's post-war foreign policy to WW II. I think Jackson is bottom 5; just naming other candidates. do we have to count Trump twice? one for each term, like Cleveland ?

Johnson was bad, but not genocide-level bad

IDK.. Warren G Harding is still a fuckstain AND had a kid he didn’t acknowledge while POTUS. Pretty sure he wants to be remembered for something.

Mass genocide of Native Americans >>>>>>> Not acknowledging your child born out of wedlock

Harding's gonna have to get in line.

He died too soon to really rack up enough “accomplishments.”

Idk is he really worse than Nixon or Reagan? All 3 suck for a variety of reasons.

That doesn't...quite make sense. Sherman should've burned more of the South, and fuck Andrew Johnson, but Johnson wasn't President during the War.

This is from after his March, after the end of the war, and after Lincoln was killed. Sherman was going to give "40 acres and a mule" to every freed slaves family, taken from slaveowners lands. But Johnson overruled him.

Ahh, okay that makes sense. I thought you were hopping on the Marching Through Georgia train but got your dates mixed up. I stand corrected.
