A lot of people who rag on Jackson, seem to give MVB a free pass; despite the fact that he was essentially a right-hand crony of AJ. Still basically a good man (well, as good as you're going to get anyway). Three stars, which is what I'm giving to all medicore Presidents.

He gets points for his anti-slavery views, but as president he was pretty mediocre. Three stars.

Terrible president, did nothing while the Mormons were persecuted (like, tarred and feathered and having their houses burned down) in Missouri.
