"I regard [the President] as a foolish and stubborn man, doing even right things in a wrong way, and in a position where the evil that he does is immensely increased by the manner of his doing it."

-- Senator John Sherman of Ohio, on President Andrew Johnson, March 1, 1868.

This sounds very familiar in 2025.

SVs (#7, 8, 10, 11 redo, #15, 17, 20, 41 designs)

ok so i kind of forgot to post these on tumblr but who care. mass post for a lot of SVs because im not doing a ton of separate posts for them all

#7

Andrew Jackson! I just cleaned up his ref

More info

#8

Van Buren's ref has also been duly cleaned up! As always, this is an obvious reference to @doodle-blight's design of Van Buren for their work, Star-Spangled Afterlife, so be sure to check that out.

More info

#10

Cleaned up Tyler's ref, too! This is also an obvious reference to @presidenttyler, check that blog out if you want to know the "context."

More info

#11

Re-did Polk's design, as well as made some of the colours a bit... better. The idea of making him green still comes from @doodle-blight's old Polk design for SSA, which is linked in the loredoc.

More info

#15

This one's new! James Buchanan now has an SV.

More info

#17

Andrew Johnson. I am too lazy to write anything new for him, everything is in the loredoc.

More info

#20

Gar is one that many people have asked questions about, since he's a little bit different from IRL in SV canon. The tl;dr for his lore can be found in the link below, and his lore is still being worked on (especially the specifics).

More info

#41

The elder Bush, Poppy! He's part of the ISSAU lore along with SV Reagan. Both of them can be found here:

More Presidential Fellows

Finished the set and tweaked a bit of the proporations.

[deadpresidents]

Which presidents that served in the military actually saw combat? I know Grant and Washington right? Did Jackson? Any others?

Yes, there are actually quite a bit more than you might expect. Now, I'm not including every President who had any sort of military service. These are just the Presidents who saw real combat where they faced fire or fired at the enemy in anger. GEORGE WASHINGTON Involved in fighting while serving in the British Colonial Army during the French & Indian War and definitely saw combat as Commander-in-Chief of the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War.

JAMES MONROE Monroe took part in Washington's famous Crossing of the Delaware during the American Revolutionary War. At the Battle of Trenton, Monroe was seriously wounded and very nearly died.

ANDREW JACKSON Served in the American Revolutionary War despite only being a teenager and was slightly wounded after being captured by the British. He's the only President who was ever a Prisoner of War. Later saw combat in Indian Wars like the Seminole War and the War of 1812, rising to Major General.

WILLIAM HENRY HARRISON Saw combat during Indian Wars in the Northwest Territories (Ohio/Indiana/Michigan) and War of 1812, rising to Major General.

ZACHARY TAYLOR Spent a 40-year career in the military and saw combat in the War of 1812, Indian Wars, and the Mexican-American War, ultimately ending up a Major General.

FRANKLIN PIERCE Rose to Brigadier General in the U.S. Army during the Mexican-American War and was injured in battle.

ANDREW JOHNSON* While Johnson wasn't technically a soldier during the Civil War, he was appointed Military Governor of Tennessee and given the rank of Brigadier General and there was quite a bit of unrest and violence in the state during the rebellion, so I'm including him with an asterisk.

ULYSSES S. GRANT Obviously was the Union's most important Commanding General during the Civil War and saw some of the bloodiest action throughout the war. Grant also faced combat during the Mexican-American War and was the first President who graduated from West Point. Along with Washington and WWI commander John J. Pershing, Grant is one of just three Americans to be named General of the Armies.

RUTHERFORD B. HAYES Hayes was involved in significant fighting during the Civil War and wounded several times. Other than Grant, he saw the most action of any President in the Civil War, and ended the war as a Major General.

JAMES GARFIELD Was elevated to Major General in the Union Army during the Civil War and involved in a number of battles.

BENJAMIN HARRISON Saw action during the Civil War and rose to Brigadier General in the Union Army.

WILLIAM McKINLEY The youngest of the Presidents who served in the Civil War, McKinley was recognized for bravery under fire while serving in the Union Army. One of his commanders was future President Hayes.

THEODORE ROOSEVELT Famously led the Rough Riders calvary regiment of volunteers in action in Cuba during the Spanish-American War. HARRY S. TRUMAN As mentioned recently, Truman commanded an artillery regiment during World War I and actually fired one of the last shots of the war in France just hours before the Armistice went into effect.

DWIGHT D. EISENHOWER* Eisenhower also gets an asterisk because he is obviously one of the most revered military leaders in American history and was Supreme Commander of all Allied forces during World War II. And while he organized and commanded the largest invasion in the history of humanity, he didn't actually face fire in the same way that even a General Patton or General MacArthur did.

JOHN F. KENNEDY As a young U.S. Navy commander during World War II, JFK's PT boat was rammed by a Japanese destroyer in the South Pacific, killing some of his crew. JFK was badly injured, but rescued another injured member of his crew by swimming to deserted island while dragging him by the life jacket with his teeth. After searching and finding an inhabited island, JFK carved a message in a coconut for a native islander to deliver to Allied forces who were eventually able to rescue him. JFK was the first (and only) President to be awarded a Purple Heart.

LYNDON B. JOHNSON LBJ was serving in Congress when World War II broke out but joined the U.S. Navy Reserve. In 1942, President Roosevelt sent LBJ on a fact-finding mission to the South Pacific. According to some accounts, during on observation flight, LBJ's plane was attacked by Japanese fighters but successfully completed its mission. General Douglas MacArthur awarded LBJ the Silver Star for the mission, but there have been questions and controversies over the years about what actually happened on the flight. Either way, General MacArthur's citation praised LBJ for his service and he proudly wore his Silver Star decoration for the rest of his life.

GERALD FORD During World War II, Ford joined the U.S. Navy Reserve and after requesting duty at sea was stationed on the aircraft carrier USS Monterey. An active and popular junior officer on the carrier, Ford and the USS Monterey took part, according to one historian, in "virtually all the major battles in the South Pacific." Ford received ten battle stars while on the ship and, in a frightening incident, was nearly washed overboard when a massive typhoon struck the Third Fleet, causing a fire on the Monterey and sinking several ships.

GEORGE H.W. BUSH The youngest fighter pilot in the U.S. Navy when he enlisted, George H.W. Bush flew 58 combat missions in the Pacific Theater during World War II. During a September 1944 bombing mission of a Japanese base on Chichi Jima, an outer island roughly 620 miles away from Tokyo, Bush's plane was shot down by the Japanese. Before he had to bail out the uncontrollable plane, Bush completed the bombing run over his target. Jumping out of the plane, Bush's head smashed into the tail, opening a large cut that bled heavily into the shark-infested waters that he landed in. Bush's two fellow crew members were either killed when their plane was struck or unable to parachute to safely. For several hours, the injured Bush floated in the ocean as Japanese planes searched for him, but eventually was rescued by an American submarine. The future President was just 20 years old at the time and the story of his mission and near-death experience is even more harrowing if you take the time to read the details.

Resolutions Respecting the Recent National Bereavement

Record Group 60: General Records of the Department of JusticeSeries: Segregated Documents from Letters ReceivedFile Unit: Papers Relating to President Abraham Lincoln

I.N. Abbott

April 29. RT May 17. 1865

In memory of the late President

IN MEMORY OF ABRAHAM LINCOLN.

CITY OF CONCORD, N.H.

RESOLUTIONS RESPECTING THE RECENT NATIONAL BEREAVEMENT.

Resolved by the City Council of the City of Concord, as follows:

1. That, in the death of Abraham Lincoln, we deplore the loss of a great and good man, an able, faithful and honest President, a sagacious and pure-minded statesman, a guileless patriot,- in his life, the God-appointed champion of Union and Liberty, and in his death, their sacred martyr.

2. That, in the manner of his death, we recognize a natural manifestation of the fiendish Barbarism of Slavery, which, having sought in vain the Nation's life in four years of bloody Rebellion, culminated in world-astounding murder, striking down the People's chiefest and most beloved servant, and spreading a pall over the whole land.

3. That, with humble reliance upon God, in whose hands are the destinies of men and nations, we would take to heart the lesson of this deplorable event, as solemnly enforcing the imperative duty of the utter extirpation of Human Slavery from our land, and the execution of full justice upon Slavery-engendered Treason, as mercy to the Nation.

4. That we rejoice that the life of the honored and faithful Secretary of State has been spared from the assassin's knife to the service of his country; and that the murderous plot so far failed as it contemplated within its fell scope, the death of other high executive and military officers of the Government.

5. That we have entire confidence in the ability, integrity, and patriotism of Andrew Johnson, as a worthy successor of Abraham Lincoln in the Presidency of these United States, and we pledge him our earnest and hearty support in the performance of his high and onerous duties, and bid him and all those engaged with him in the administration of our National affairs, God-speed in the great work of Reconstruction upon the basis of Justice, Liberty, and Equal Rights.

6. That a copy of these resolutions be sent to the President of the United States, and the Heads of the several Departments at Washington.

In Common Council, April 29, 1865. Passed unanimously.

Isaac N. Abbott, President.

In Board of Mayor and Alderman, April 29, 1865.

Passed unanimously. Moses Humphrey, Mayor.
