美国最杰出的10个总统
Top 10 Outstanding US Presidents
10.John F. Kennedy
1961-1963
John F. Kennedy was one charismatic president. He brought many teachers, writers, scientists and different intellectuals into the government. His inaugural speech was one of the modern greats as he called for service to his countrymen. He established the Peace Corps in order to help the undeveloped nations and was very devoted to working hard for new civil rights laws. He wanted to improve his country’s relation with the then Soviet Union but it was to no avail as the all
powerful congress thought otherwise. This became further unrealistic when the Russians started to send missiles to Cuba. This brought the two countries to the verge of war but Kennedy was determined to avoid it at all cost and diffused all the tensions brilliantly. He had the power to inspire and considering that he only served as the president for a brief stint of about two years before being assassinated, he achieved a lot.
9.Andrew Jackson
1829-1837
Andrew Jackson was a fearless president right
from the beginning. He easily was the best president ever to serve the army - going well past the excellence of George Washington, smashing the British in the war of 1812 and then playing the paramount role in taking Florida from Spain. So during his presidency there was no shortage of courage as he demonstrated how great a role the president had to play, by undertaking the responsibility of getting people the laws they wanted instead of leaving everything up to the Congress. The Tariff act was passed in 1832, which would be significant to America’s economy forever. When North Carolina had other opinions about the act, Jackson made it clear that no state had the right to break national laws and threatened to use the army if necessary to save the union. He proved too strong and a compromise was worked out.
8.James Monroe
1817-1825
James Monroe’s presidency became known as the era of good feeling. He took trips around the country to know more about what was going on in the minds of people and what they wanted. He settled tensions between England and America by coming to an agreement of reducing the number of ships present in the great lakes which triggered a wave of friendly cooperation and peaceful negotiations which still exists today between the countries of America, England and France. He avoided war rather magnanimously and only wanted Florida and no more and took it effortlessly from Spain by using minimum force. The Missouri compromise was signed which
allowed Missouri to be a slave state but make sure that all further states up north would be non slavery states. He also signed and ensured the Monroe Doctrine which forbade all European countries making new colonies in the Americas.
7.Thomas Jefferson
1801-1809
Thomas Jefferson cared passionately about his country and put the interests of the people before his. He cut down on the army and the navy as he thought that a country should be run cheaply as possible so there would always be money for
bigger developments when the need came. He was successful in buying from France the whole Louisiana territory, stretching from the Mississippi river to the Rocky Mountains and henceforth doubled the size of his country. When there was a threat from the Barbary pirates based in Africa, he utilized his navy to attack these pirates which once again ensured the smooth flow of American ships through the Mediterranean Sea. He was on very good terms with the people and mostly likely would have been reelected; instead he stepped down as president, believing that no one should run for more than two terms for democracy to be sustained in the land of the free.
6.Grover Cleveland
1885-1889 and 1893-1897
Grover Cleveland was a tremendously hard working president. He began to reform the federal government and at the same improved civil service to get better workers. He forced the railroads to return 81 million acres of government which they had taken illegally. He took care to scrutinize every bill the congress passed and vetoed many of them which he thought weren’t beneficial to his countrymen. As he worked so fervently he never turned a deaf ear to any one of the country’s problems and even boosted the navy by getting them the best ships. When a railroad strike in Chicago interfered with the mail he sent the federal troops at once to clear
up the matter. He totally imbued his virtues of hard work and honesty into the federal government which indeed made it very efficient and also gained confidence from the people. Cleveland really is the most underrated president ever in United States history.
5.Theodore Roosevelt
1901-1909
Theodore Roosevelt became the youngest ever president when he took the oath and he brought his exuberance into the office as expected. He
controlled trusts so that small businesses and workers were not exploited. He wanted every one to have a square deal which was eponymous to his administration’s name. He got congress to pass laws which protected the people from impure food and drugs and forced the owners of the coal mines during that time to pay better wages to its laborers. He is recognized as having done more than any other president to save the natural resources of USA. Roosevelt established national parks and more than 125 million acres of national forests. A firm believer in having a strong navy, he also got congress to build new battleships and cruisers. It was for the objective that the navy could move easily from one ocean to the other and also for trade purposes that he built the Panama Canal.
4.James Knox Polk
1845-1849
James Polk was one of the few presidents who made his agenda clear and actually went on to accomplish every one of his preplanned goals. Under him the congress passed laws to set up a national treasury and to lower the tariff, just as he had said he wanted to. He avoided war with England and split the Oregon territory between the U.S and Canada which remains the present day border. Despite having settled the Oregon issue so peacefully, the same proved more difficult in the case of California. Mexicans wouldn’t sell their land and the revolutions he tried to stir up there all failed. But he couldn’t let this last promise of bringing California under the
union fall apart so he persevered. Slowly over the course of the next few months he bullied Mexico in to a war it didn’t want to fight. America won and took not only California but what is now all of Nevada and parts of Utah, Arizona and New Mexico.
3.Franklin Delano Roosevelt
1933-1945
FDR was faced with the immediate problem of depression as soon as his arrival to the oval office. He declared bank holidays which closed all banks; they were then opened a few at a time with
government help. He got congress to pass laws which helped farmers, small businesses and people who were about to lose their homes during that time. He kept moving on with his social reforms which changed the course of American government. Just when things started to return back to normal and the people grew in confidence, World War 2 commenced. He wanted the allies to win to protect democracy all over the world and kept sending more and more supplies to the British to overcome the forces which threatened freedom. America eventually joined in the war. He saw the USA through two grave crises and his last great achievement was to lay the foundation of what would later be the UN.
2.Woodrow Wilson
1913-1921
Woodrow Wilson was an admirable principled president. He got congress to lower the tariff and he reformed the national banking system. He also got the congress to declare that it wasn’t against the law for working men to go on strike. When world war one started his aim was clearly to stay out of it, he instead looked forward to help the warring countries to make peace. When German submarines bombed American ships in the Atlantic without warning, the USA was engaged in the war. More than anything else Wilson wanted this to be a war to end all the wars. Even at the time of fighting, he drew up his famous 14 Point Peace plan. The most important of these called for a League of Nations which
would settle future rifts between nations. Germany had surrendered and the League of Nations was formed. But without the approval of the U.S senate America couldn’t join and without the USA the body was rendered useless. But Wilson kept traveling around the country making speeches in favor of the league. He left a legacy for peace which people still dream about.
1.Abraham Lincoln
1861-1865
Abraham Lincoln became the president when everything was going wrong for the USA. There
were still a number of Border States which were left undecided on whether to stay in the Union or not, he wanted to hold on to these states if he possibly could. Secondly a lot of Northerners believed that neither the Union nor slavery was worth fighting about. Fighting a war at that time would mean a lot of people not supporting him. He had the gifted ability to make the people understand what he was doing and when Civil War broke out he made them understand that the USA was the only genuine democratic government in the world and his job was to hold the Union together. Since slavery had started this whole mess in the first place, he believed that it had to perish for the nation to live. He issued the Emancipation Proclamation and worked for the 13th amendment to ban slavery. Although these did not effectively ensure the end of slavery, it won sympathy for the North throughout the world which culminated into its victory in the end. He had no plans for revenge and just wanted to restore the union as soon as possible, bu, alas,
he was assassinated. He is arguably the most mourned president ever.
10.约翰·F·肯尼迪(1961-1963)
约翰·肯尼迪是一个非常有魅力的总统。他让许多老师、作家、科学家和不同领域的知识分子进入政府工作。他的就职演说是现代最著名的演说之一，就正如他说的为人民服务。为了帮助贫困落后的民族建立“和平部队”，他专注于新的民权法的订立。他想增进与当时苏联的关系，但是由于所有有权利的国会都不这么想，因此他这种努力完全没有用。当俄军开始向古巴运送导弹时，这个想法显得更加不切实际。俄军的这种做法将两国推到了战争的边沿，但是肯尼迪不惜一切成本去避免这场战争并且很光彩地解决了这种紧张状态。他有能力去激励别人，而且在他被暗杀之前，他担任了短短的两年总统。
9.安德鲁·杰克逊(1829-1837)
安德鲁·杰克逊自从一上任就是个无畏的总统。之前服务于军队的他很顺利地成为超过接触乔治.华盛顿最著名的总统，1812年战争击败了英国，之后在从西班牙手中夺回佛罗里达洲扮演了重要的角色。因此在他的任职期间不缺乏任何勇气，这正显示了他一个总统扮演着多么重要的角色，承担为
人民立法的责任，而不是放掉一切有关于国会的决定。1832年通过了关税法案，这对于美国经济的影响是深远和巨大的。当北部的卡罗莱纳州对这部法案有其他主张时，杰克逊的法案明确提出：没有一个州有权撤销国家的法案，如果有必要保存我们的联邦，可以用军队威胁。这证明他实在太强悍了并且想出了一个折中的办法。
8.詹姆斯·门罗（1817-1825）
詹姆斯·门罗任职期间被称为有好感的一代。他深入民间，了解民情。他通过协议减少在五大湖航行的轮船数量解决了英国和美国之间的紧张气氛。五大湖问题触发了友好合作和和平协商的浪潮，这些协商今天还存在于美国、英国和法国。他非常宽宏大量地避免战争，而且想以最小的武力轻松地从西班牙手中收回佛罗里达州。已签订的密苏里州协议允许密苏里州为实行奴隶制的州，但是确定所有在北部的州不实行奴隶制。他也签订“门罗主义”，确保所有的欧洲国家不会再美国建立新的殖民地。
7.托马斯·杰斐逊(1801-1809)
托马斯杰斐逊总是热切地照顾他的国家，并且把人民的利益置于自己之上。他削减陆军和海军因为他认为国家的运行需要大量的资金。他成功地从法国手里收购了整个路易斯安那
州领土，这使得美国的国土从密西西比河到落基山脉翻了一番。当在非洲的北海盗对其有威胁的时候，他利用其海军来攻击这些海盗以保证美国船只能顺利通过地中海。他与人民相处得非常好，并且绝大多数人都希望他能连任；然而他拒绝了，认为没有人能够在这篇自由之土违反民权。
6.格罗弗克利夫兰（1885-1889 ）和（1893-1897） 格罗弗克利夫兰是一个非常勤奋总统。他开始改革联邦政府和公民服务以便得到更好的员工。他敦促铁路部门归还非法强占政府的8100万英亩的土地。他仔细审查国会每条法案的通过并否决了不利于他的人民的法案。他是如此的热切以致他不会对国家的任何一个问题置之不理。他甚至给海军提供最好的船只以便促进他们的发展。当芝加哥的铁路工人进行罢工的时候，他派出了一支联邦军队进行解决。他完全的美德和诚实辛勤的工作让联邦政府非常有效地运作同时也得到了人民的信任。克里夫兰市确实是在美国历史上总统最被低估城市
5 .西奥多·罗斯福(1901-1909)
当西奥多罗斯福宣誓就职并且带着他预期的活跃时，他成为了美国史上最年轻的总统。他控制着信托基金使得小企业者和工人都不被剥削。他让每个人有一个广场协议并且与他的
政府同名。他获得美国国会通过的法律来保护人民免受掺杂食品和药物的侵害，同时迫使煤矿主合理支付其员工的工资。他被公认为美国史上最节约自然能源的总统。罗斯福建立了国家公园和超过125万英亩的国家森林。秉着一个建立强大海军的理念，他还得到了国会新建的战列舰和巡洋舰。以此为目标他修建了巴拿马运河，使得海军能轻易地从一个海域到下一个，这也满足了贸易目的。
4. 诺克斯·詹姆斯波尔克(1901-1909）
詹姆斯波尔克是少数能制作一个明确的议事日程然后实际上完成事先定好的目标的总统。正像他想要的那样，国会通过了法律，成立了国家财政，降低关税。他避免与英格兰的战争和俄勒冈州的分裂是美国和加拿大的分界至今沿用。尽管和平解决了与俄勒冈州的问题，加利福利亚州的问题显得更加艰难。墨西哥人不会出售他们的土地和革命，在那，他曾试图挑起他们都以失败告终。但是他不能将这最后的不会让加利福尼亚州工会瓦解的承诺失效，他仍在坚持着。在缓慢的过程中，他将墨西哥拉入不情愿的战争中。最后美国不仅赢得了加州还有包括现在的内华达和犹他州部分地盘及亚利桑那州和新墨西哥州
3 .富兰克林·罗斯福(1933-1945）
罗斯福总统一上台就面临经济危机问题。他宣布银行假日进而关闭了所有的银行。其中有几家在政府的帮助下运营。他获得国会通过的法律进而帮助农民，小企业着和即将失去家园的人民。他不断地进行社会改革，这也改变了美国政府。就在事情开始重新回到原轨国民重拾信心的时候爆发了二战。他希望盟军赢得民主并且源源不断地向英军提供军需物资，以助英军打到威胁自由的势力。美国最终加入了战争。他见证了美国度过了死亡危机同时他的最大成就是为之后和联合国建立奠定了基础。
2. 伍德罗·威尔逊(1913-1921)
伍德罗威尔逊是一个令人钦佩的很有原则的总统。他让国会通过降低关税法案同时改革国家银行体系。他还得到了大会宣布，男子进行罢工违反法律。当一战爆发的时候他明确提出自己的观点，他没有旁观而是帮助战争国家寻求和平。当德国潜艇没有任何预兆在大西洋轰炸美国船只时，美国决定参与到战争中去以便早日结束它。计时在战争时期，他仍起草了他著名的14条和平计划。其中最重要的一条是要求国际联盟解决未来国家之间的裂痕。德国投降和联盟的形成。但是如果没有得到美国参议院的批准加入美国机构是无效的。但是威尔逊一直周游全国做有利于联盟的演讲，他也给爱好和平的人民留下了梦想。
1.亚伯拉罕·林肯(1861-1865)
林肯总统任职期间一切对于美国来说都是错误的。还有一些国家的边界仍未确定是否李在联盟，如果可以的话，他想抓住这些国家。其次，很多北方人认为，无论是联盟还是奴隶制都是值得战斗的。在那个时期去打战意味着将会失去很多人的支持。他有着让人们理解他做什么和让他们明白内战爆发是保持美国真正民主的能力。他把整理奴隶制摆在首位，他认为只有消费这个制度再能让民主永存。他发表了解放宣言并为第十三条做修正案，禁止奴役。虽然这些并没有保证有效地结束奴隶制，但它赢得了北方的同情并以纳入最终的胜利告终。他没有报复的计划，他只是想尽可能快的恢复工会。唉，最具政论性的总统被暗杀了。

林肯总统任职期间一切对于美国来说都是错误的。还有一些国家的边界仍未确定是否李在联盟，如果可以的话，他想抓住这些国家。其次，很多北方人认为，无论是联盟还是奴隶制都是值得战斗的。在那个时期去打战意味着将会失去很多人的支持。他有着让人们理解他做什么和让他们明白内战爆发是保持美国真正民主的能力。他把整理奴隶制摆在首位，他认为只有消费这个制度再能让民主永存。他发表了解放宣言并为第十三条做修正案，禁止奴役。虽然这些并没有保证有效地结束奴隶制，但它赢得了北方的同情并以纳入最终的胜利告终。他没有报复的计划，他只是想尽可能快的恢复工会。唉，最具政论性的总统被暗杀了。
