Which American president was the greatest president.

As President Biden works through his term as Chief Executive, he is preoccupied with the impact his administration will have on the history of our great nation. To ensure that he and his policies are remembered among the greatest this country has ever produced, the President asked that I assemble a panel of the brightest historical minds to determine what makes a president historically great. You were an obvious choice for this assignment. In order to help the President, write a short paper, seven pages is appropriate, that discusses which American president was the greatest president. limit your selection to the period between 1788 and 1860 as another team will be discussing the other periods of history. You will, of course, tell why your chosen president was a great president. Be sure to explain why his policy decisions and responses to events around him made him truly great. You should conform to standard college formatting and style and should also cite all references used with footnotes. You must use at least three sources. You should cite the reference materials you use with the standard format used by American historians. This style is explained by The Chicago Manual of Style rev. (University of Chicago Press). You should use the notes/bibliography style and a “works cited” page. For further information, please see the staff at the LRC. Do not create an elaborate cover page or use any kind of plastic cover. Simply double-space your name, the date, and course number in the center of an otherwise blank sheet, and staple it to the front of your paper. Be sure to include your last name and a page number at the top right corner of each page. The President expects your complete response on or before 16 December 2021. This gives you time to complete this assignment to the best of your significant abilities. I await your submission. No late papers will be accepted.

synthesis the most important parts, put them in your own words, and even add your own spin on the character. Keep in mind the language for formerly enslaved people: freedperson/freedpeople/freedwoman etc. It’s 1865 and folks are emancipated!  One thing not to do! Don’t imagine regional, old-timey, language you think your person would use! If we were in-person I would say “no fake accents or funny voices!” So avoid any textual equivalents. We’re in the south, though, so y’all is fine :D

Your quiz must use one-inch margins and Times or Times New Roman font and double spaced.

Think in terms of concepts, patterns of behavior, divergent worldviews and perspectives, and the ways that particular historical experiences can help you demonstrate that you understand “what happened.”  Be sure to cite relevant facts from the readings and/or lectures to support your argument.  In other words, demonstrate the validity of your argument; do not merely assert it.

All sources used – whether consulted, quoted, paraphrased, summarized, et cetera – must be acknowledged through a Chicago-style endnote (not footnote).  The failure to cite a source may open you up to a charge of plagiarism.  In other words, cite your sources!
