TAYLOR FILLMORE.jpg
70KB, 664x402px
It's kinda infuriating how little attention some of the presidents get, like if they're not Washington, Lincoln, Roosevelt, or still alive then no one cares.

Case in point the Taylor and Fillmore presidencies. You could honestly make a good movie about either Taylor's military life than country-mourning around his death, or Fillmore's turbelent relationship with whig think tank Thurlow Weed and how the presidency just happened to slip into his ill-prepared hands.

Regarding "tier-rankings", does Taylor really deserve to be so low- just because he died so early in his term? Is his character worth not at least exploring to see how a full term might've been carried had he lived longer?

I'm interested in all of them.
Reading about obscure presidents is always more interesting. Chapters about Lincoln and such are always the longest, most generic and boring.

Of course presidents commonly seen as the greatest usually weren't that good so that makes finding a good book about them even harder.
>>
>>3315348
Also Taylor wasn't the best and had he lived longer the Civil War would've broken out earlier (after his incominc veto on the Compromise of 1850) but he had a sound economicl policy despite favoring high tarrifs.

Speaking of Taylor and Lincoln:

Lincoln, man who will go on to die during his presidency, gives a eulogy to a man who dies during his presidency.

Why do people give the CCP's authoritarian state capitalism so much credit for China's economic prosperity, when compared to other economies of "Oriental" countries like Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Singapore, they're lagging behind? Doesn't it show rather that the CCP is actually holding China back? Heck even Malaysia is doing better, about all China can really say proudly is that they're better off than India and Vietnam.

Because it's a lot better than it used to be and GDP per capita doesn't matter as much to a country of over a billion people whose quality of life the government doesn't really care about as much as other developed nations.

It's not, they had no /pol/ in mind when they wrote their works nor it is written with an intention to be "anti" anything. It just so happens that /pol/ is triggered by anything that doesn't fit into their narrow mindset.

Their sexist societies couldn't handle a woman leader. Especially one who couldn't be intimidated by men, isn't young (and didn't/is not effect by the shit younger women face) and exudes a powerful and stern personality often mistaken as masculine (but is quite maternal actually).

In all seriousness, Wilson had a hard enough time getting the heavily isolationist US to intervene in WW1. If he wanted to help them based on his theory of American foreign policy, his hands were likely tied in that Congress nor the people would go along with starting a war based on humanitarian issues. Up until WW2, the whole America spreading democracy thing was just by being a beacon that other countries looked to as an example for the perfect institutions.
