Reagan is clearly the top president of the 20th century. Washington and Jefferson outrank him overall. I can’t put Lincoln in this category since he was unable to avert the worst war the country ever waged, pitting brother against brother, killing well over 600,000 Americans; many of them no more than young teenagers.

More like allowed it to happen.
As time goes on my once high regard of Lincoln is fading away as I learn more about him.
