Ulysses S. Grant
The 18th President of the United States Ulysses S. Grant was a commanding general of the Union Army during the American Civil War. He was popular when he was in power from 1869 to 1877. He made a name for himself just a couple of years following his West Point graduation when he served during the Mexican-American war. He was 47 years old when he was sworn into office, making him the youngest president. He did well in the survey for his moral authority, public persuasion skills, international relations skills, and pursuance of justice for all Americans. He is best remembered as an honest politician who opposed the KKK and appointed Jewish Americans and African Americans to various government positions.

John Quincy Adams
The 6th President of the United States was none other than John Quincy Adams. He was in office from 1825 until 1829. Better known as JQA, he was the child of John Adams, a former president, and founding father. The younger man was passionate about the abolition of slavery and he even called himself “the acutest, the astutest, the archest enemy of southern slavery that ever existed.” He preferred to stay out of the political machinations in Europe and pushed for nonintervention policies. He was a staunch critic of the Texas annexation as well. He has the oldest surviving presidential photo that dates back to 1843 when he was 76 years of age!
