#Andrew Jackson

[one-time-i-dreamt]

American president Andrew Jackson was an actor in the MCU, but he had to take a break from acting for four years to be president. When he came back, he told Marvel he wanted be Captain America and told Chris Evans he should be president. Marvel rejected him because he was racist.

Spicy Napoleon Opinions

Because with Ridley Scott's film coming soon, now seems like a good time to put them out there.

Napoleon betrayed the French Revolution. Sure, there's a school of thought that says that it probably needed to end, but if Napoleon had used his time as First Consul to defend France, achieve peace with Britain and then transition into a democracy - basically any form of democracy - he'd rightly be regarded as a hero of liberty and the enlightenment. Instead, in declaring himself Emperor, he fundamentally betrayed everything it stood for.

Napoleon lost any right to be considered 'enlightened' when he brought back slavery and walked back women's rights. Instead it took until 1848 (ironically, under the rule of his nephew, Louis-Napoleon, soon to be Napoleon III) for France to finally abolish slavery, over a decade after Britain.

Despite this, Napoleon was not Hitler. That's a common bit of hyperbole. What Hitler did was almost unique in history, in that he planned and executed an industrialised genocide right down to the train timetables. Napoleon, for all his faults, wasn't generally genocidal.

At worst, the wars between Napoleon and the Coalitions were between morally equal parties. By the time Napoleon invaded Spain, he was morally the worst of the two. The war of 1805-07 can at least be said to have been forced on France by Britain, Austria and Russia. This can't be said for the invasion of Spain and later of Russia, which were acts of naked aggression whatever the geopolitical rationale.

Napoleon would wipe the floor with Washington. It wouldn't even be close. I have no idea what Deadliest Warrior was thinking. (Then I realise they tried to argue that gatling guns were superior to machine guns and I remember they probably just fixed it in favour of the Americans.)

The Napoleonic Wars were won and lost in Spain. Okay, this is a bit hyperbolic, but the 'Spanish Ulcer' was a quagmire that deprived Napoleon of valuable reinforcements at critical moments and influenced his decision-making process in 1812 (leading to the Russian disaster.)

And while we're on this period...

Andrew Jackson might be the most overrated general in American history. Congratulations, you defended a fortified position against an enemy advancing frontally across a marsh. Bravo. Anybody could have done it, and that the Battle of New Orleans propelled such an odious figure to national prominence is a crying shame.

Happy Presidents Day! It's time for the results of the annual Presidential Greatness Project Expert Survey

So here are the five best and five worst presidents according to the 2024 survey. BTW, Grover Cleveland only gets counted once for this survey.

Here are the historians' collective rankings for the top five and bottom five.

I'm fully in agreement with #1 and #45.

The entire 12 page article (PDF) can be read here.

Lincoln, FDR, and Washington are in an exclusive group of greatness by themselves. Trump is in an exclusive group of odium all by himself. The ghosts of James Buchanan and Andrew Johnson are undoubtedly pleased that thanks to Trump, they'll never need to worry again about being considered the worst ever POTUS.

Some other tidbits from the survey.

Jimmy Carter (#22 overall) was chosen as the most underrated POTUS.

John F. Kennedy (#10 overall) was chosen as the most overrated.

The biggest rise in the rankings was by Barack Obama who rose 9 places since 2015.

The biggest decline goes to Andrew Jackson who tumbled 12 places since 2015.

Joe Biden is at #14 overall – in between John Adams and Woodrow Wilson. Though Biden is essentially tied with Adams; both having received scores of 62.66 points.

The ratings average which Republican historians gave to Biden (47.69) was significantly higher than the ratings average which Democratic historians gave to Trump (6.66). No, I didn't make up that 666. 👿

It's only history scholars who participated in this survey. They tend to take a longer view than most of us.

My biggest disagreements are that I would have placed Gerald Ford and John Quincy Adams higher and George W. Bush much lower.

A couple of articles about the 2024 rankings...
