Ulysses S. Grant

As a Union Army commanding general back in the Civil War, Ulysses S. Grant became the 18th President of the United States. He was hugely popular when he was in office from 1869 to 1877. A couple of years after his graduation from West Point, he made a name for himself as a hero in the Mexican-American War. He was the youngest president when he was sworn in at only 47 years old. He ranked high thanks to his moral authority, public persuasion skills, international relations excellence, and pursuit of justice for everyone. He is best remembered as an honest person who opposed the KKK and appointed both African Americans and Jewish Americans to office.

John Quincy Adams

The 6th President of the United States was none other than John Quincy Adams. He was in office from 1825 to 1829. Better known as JQA, he was the son of the founding father and former president John Adams. He was a big pro-equal rights and anti-slavery champion, even calling himself “the acutest, the astutest, the archest enemy of southern slavery that ever existed.” He liked to keep out of European politics as an advocate of nonintervention policies. He also expressed disapproval when it comes to the Texas annexation. He is also the person with the oldest surviving presidential photo – it dates back to 1843 when JQA was 76 years old!
