“Lincoln is not on my list at all.”
From what I have read over time, Lincoln was pro-big federal government.

Well he is king of America.
Ok, I will ad the Southern Unionists.
James Knox Polk, the best one term President who gave the US it’s current shape.
Miss Rush beyond belief.
And then some.
Sometimes listen to his podcasts and they still apply today.

O.K. My top ten, all based on their net major contribution value:
George Washington
ThomasJefferson
James Madison
Collectively - Robert Yates (Brutus), most likely George Clinton (Cato), Samuel Bryan (Centinel), and either Melancton Smith or Richard Henry Lee (Federal Farmer) - likely authors f the anti-Federalist papers
Gilbert du Motier, Marquis de Lafayette
French military officer - who was a major contributor in getting French naval support for the U.S. Continental Army which more than once turned the tide in battle to our side.
(he was posthumously made a U.S. citizen by an act of Congress)
James Monroe
Andrew Jackson
James Polk
Abraham Lincoln
Ulysses S. Grant
Dwight Eisenhower
Barry Goldwater (at whose nominating convntion Reagam wins the popularity of Conservatives)
Ronald Reagan
Rush Limbaugh
Donald Trump
Just to name a few off the top of my head.
