One of the best men to ever hold the office. He was surrounded by grifters, but he was not the cause and not in it.
He was deeply into the idea of bringing the south back into the fold and healing America. There is a reason regular people everywhere loved him so much.
Its sickening to see people always list him among the worst presidents, and then to see who they think were the best ones.
Yeah - He was prone to con-artists. Much more the pity - reduced to writing his memoirs to support his family - and then dying.
