Polk is overrated by people who want to avoid underrating him. People talk about how he was able to accomplish all his goals, but it needs to be brought up more that the most prominent of those goals was morally reprehensible.

FDR is the most overrated President, long with JFK, Reagan, Wilson, and H.W. Bush.

Harding is seriously underrated. Sure, he was a corrupt SOB, but he also took a firm stance against lynching, pardoned Eugene Debs, and negotiated an end to World War I.

FDR is not overrated, he saved Amercia from Facism, Communist Revoultion, and Turned America into and Economic  superpower
TIL FDR was president in the 1880s
?

Learn how to infer. And also how to spell/use grammar/etc.

Maybe tell that to the person beginning a sentence with "TIL"?

Anyone else sick of Computer09 stating his opinions as black and white facts in the tone of someone who literally bought and read a history textbook to gain all of his understanding?

Anyway, Grant and Coolidge are underrated.  Wilson and LBJ are overrated.

Be kind, his software only recently finished installing, and there are a few bugs in the coding.

Most of my American History opinions came from a history textbook.
