This isn't to say Lincoln wasn't a great or even an intellectual president but let's face it, he's got the name recognition because of the situation he found himself in. If Millard Fillmore had been president during the Civil War with it ending as it did we'd always be talking about him and he'd be on the penny.

If Millard Fillmore had been President during the Civil War, there's no way the North could have won. Black people would still be held in slavery, and we'd all be speaking with a drawl.
