Excuse me, Comte de Geneve, but Henry Clay's compromise of 1850 did not prevent the civil war
But the Civil War didn't start in 1850 did it?

Yes but things went downhill during the 1850s.But the Civil War didn't start in 1850 did it?
What do I have against Bryan? Not much, apart from his being a fuzzy-minded sort who spouted popular but poorly reasoned pseudo-policies, that he was totally unqualified in experience in a responsible public position, and a terrible administrator to boot. Consider: during his tenure as Wilson's secretary of state, he did little apart from sending out biblical tracts by the ton. It took the efforts of a Robert Lansing (uncle to the two Dulles brothers) to begin to undo the harm Bryan did.
Bryan in the White House would have been as incompetent as Obama, Harding, or Carter.
- Barry Goldwater (1964)
- John McCain (2008)
- Bob Dole (1996)
- Thomas Dewy (1944/1948)
Joshua Chamberlain - War Hero, Governor, Professor of theology and linguistics. Knew at least 7 languages. Would have protected civil rights like Grant, but would have run a more competent and much less corrupt administration.
After looking at him on wikipedia, I think that it'd be interesting, though I'll have to research more.
Emphasis mine. Hamilton was never POTUS.Sam Houston in the 1850's would have been a good one. He would not have let the South get to the point it was in in 1860.
William T. Sherman if he would have wanted the office.
Alexander Hamilton earlier, maybe after Jefferson.
Smedley Butler instead of Coolidge? It would be interesting.
Adlai Stevenson in the 50's
RFK definately
Gore in 2000. would not have the problems now.
