6. 1 (Honorary) Lincoln

   For trying his darnest to prevent a confrontation before shots rang out, to juggling non-abolitionist Unionist and States and building up the legitimacy for emancipation, and juggling foreign relations between France and UK during this to prevent them from recognizing the Confederacy

   2 Franklin Roosevelt

   For building a war strategy that aimed at winning public consent to supporting Allies before our involvement and cooperating with the UK and Soviet Union in a way during the war that directly benefited us greatly

   3 George Washington

   For being cautious and creating many precedents and rules that set the tone for power sharing and an exchange of power

   4 Harry Truman

   For helping rebuild post war Europe and personality

   5 Ike Eisenhower

   For Cementing multilateralism international relations in our political consensus

7. 5. JFK, had a lot of optimistic ideas but didn’t really get to enact any of them
