The entries have gotten long-winded and unwieldy, so I'm rethinking this project a little. In the meantime, here's a recap of the first 10 presidents, the first fourth of this enterprise!
1. George Washington - Revolutionary War hero, our first President
2. John Adams - accomplished statesman
3. Thomas Jefferson - father of the Declaration of Independence
4. James Madison - shaped the system of Separation of Powers
5. James Monroe - oversaw grand expansion and Missouri Compromise
6. John Quincy Adams - didn't get much done
7. Andrew Jackson - opposed the Bank of the US, drove the Indians out
8. Martin Van Buren - presided over the first major recession, refused government aid
9. William Harrison - died after 30 days in office
10. John Tyler - wigged out the Whigs by going his own way
