Distinguished Professor of History Allan Lichtman takes on the ultimate challenge: A definitive Presidential Tier List, ranking every single commander-in-chief in US History.
Moving beyond simple popularity or party lines, we rank everyone from George Washington and Abraham Lincoln to modern leaders like Barack Obama, Donald Trump, and Joe Biden. Professor Lichtman breaks down the S-Tier legends, the forgotten mediocre leaders, and the F-Tier failures based on their actual governance and long-term impact on the nation.
In this deep dive ranking US Presidents, we cover:
The specific criteria that separates a "Good" president from a "Great" one.
Why specific figures like Ronald Reagan or FDR might rank differently than you expect.
The historical context often missed in modern political debates.
Whether you want to know who the worst presidents were or argue about the rankings, this is history as seen through the eyes of a scholar with over 50 years of experience.
