Ulysses S. Grant
Ulysses S. Grant, a former Union Army commanding general during the Civil War, became the 18th president of the United States. He enjoyed plenty of popularity when he was in office from 1869 to 1877. A couple of years after his graduation from West Point, he made a name for himself when he was active during the Mexican-American War. He became the president of the country at only 47 years old, making him the youngest president. He scored highly for moral authority, international relations, public persuasion, and pursuing equal justice for everyone. He is remembered by the general public as an honest person who condemned the KKK. Many also note that he was the first president to appoint both African American and Jewish American public officials.

John Quincy Adams
The 6th President of the United States was none other than John Quincy Adams. He held the position from 1825 until 1829. Popularly known as JQA, he was the son of former president and founding father John Adams. The younger man was strongly against slavery and advocated for equal rights. He called himself, “the acutest, the astutest, the archest enemy of southern slavery that ever existed.” JQA liked to keep out of European affairs as he was a supporter of nonintervention policies. He expressed opposition to the Texas annexation and he has the oldest surviving presidential photo under his belt. It dates all the way back to 1843 when he was aged 76.
