1George Washington
The first President (1789–1797) and “Father of His Country,” Washington guided the young nation and set enduring precedents like the two-term limit. His name still stands for integrity and unity.
2John Adams
The second President (1797–1801) and a driving force of the Revolution, Adams steered the new country through early foreign-policy storms and championed justice and free speech.
3Thomas Jefferson
The third President (1801–1809), Jefferson authored the Declaration of Independence and doubled the country with the Louisiana Purchase—a visionary of democracy and education whose contradictions still spark debate.
4James Madison
The fourth President (1809–1817), “Father of the Constitution,” Madison shaped the Constitution and Bill of Rights and led through the War of 1812.
5James Monroe
The fifth President (1817–1825), Monroe gave his name to the Monroe Doctrine and presided over the “Era of Good Feelings,” a stretch of national unity.
6John Quincy Adams
The sixth President (1825–1829) and son of John Adams, John Quincy Adams was a masterful diplomat and outspoken abolitionist who championed national infrastructure.
7Andrew Jackson
The seventh President (1829–1837), “Old Hickory” expanded presidential power and broadened political participation—while his Indian Removal policies remain sharply criticized.
8Martin Van Buren
The eighth President (1837–1841), Van Buren helped build the modern party system; his term was shadowed by the Panic of 1837.
9William Henry Harrison
The ninth President (1841) served the shortest term, dying after 31 days. A hero of the Battle of Tippecanoe, he stood for frontier grit.
16Abraham Lincoln
The 16th President (1861–1865), Lincoln led the Union through the Civil War, moved to end slavery with the Emancipation Proclamation, and became a lasting symbol of moral courage.
26Teddy Roosevelt

32Franklin D. Roosevelt
The 32nd President (1933–1945), Franklin D. Roosevelt led the nation through the Great Depression and most of World War II—the only President elected four times.
35John F. Kennedy
