Washington.
Washington was handsdown the best leader this nation has ever had. He led a rag tag group of colonists to win, with the help of the French. against the most powerful force in the world at the time.
Washington was not the president because he wanted to be, nor was he a glory hound. He preferred to spend his time as a planter in Mount Vernon, Virginia. Washington would only serve when his country needed him to. This was why he was so well respected by the citizens.
Washington was no military genius. But his astounding leadership capabilities and most importantly, willingness to learn are the reasons he was so successful. This was why he was so well respected by the soldiers he led.
Washington saved the union once again after the revolutionary war when he attended the Constitutional Convention of 1787. He gave the convention legitamacy though he rarely even spoke when they met. Without Washington at the convention our Constitution would not have been ratified and the nation, or rather, confederation would have completely torn itself apart.
Lastly, Washington was a brilliant president. He appointed a cabinet and only served two terms. These examples are still followed today. During the French Revolution he was smart enough to remain neutral even as Britain and France went to war and called on the young nation. He didn’t let his emotions dictate his decisions. He was also the only president not affiliated with a political party. Jefferson and Adams serve as the best examples of what can happen when parties become totally separated on issues. Washington got s*** done. This is why I feel he was the Greatest President of All Time.

Most people say Washington, because he had a chance to be “dictator” or “king” in chief because the country was new and he chose not to be.
But the president who had the biggest challenge was Lincoln. He kept the US together when it was trying to split apart.
Hard to say, because it’s time dependent.
Presidential scholars list both Roosevelts as the top two.
Lincoln because he tried his hardest to abolish slavery and tried to make them seem equal to other men and women. I am not African American either I just think it is a good example of how people can put aside differences.
