March Madness



It's bracket time ladies and gentlemen. As people all across the world fill out their picks for the NCAA championship, Patriot of '76 has our own spin.

Jeffrey Rosen, an AP U.S. History teacher, has devised a brilliant bracket. Each President is grouped by their geographic region, and awarded a seed based on rankings done by noted historians (higher ranking president get lower seed. Thus, George Washington is a #1).

IF YOUR COMPUTER CAN'T MAKE THE BRACKET LARGE ENOUGH, CLICK HERE

Fill out the bracket, and give us your final 4 Presidents. Winners should be chosen based on contributions to American society, progress, and security.

Were there any upsets? This is MADNESS!

I couldnt get the bracket to work on my computer, but I would have to say the all time best president would have to be Lincoln. In a time of crisis he had a multi party cabinet to show unity and really he made sure the country stayed one country. After all the obstacles he went through I really believe he is the best. Along with freeing the slaves he was a proponent of bipartisanism.
