Also, there is plenty of luck that goes into making presidents good or not. For example, people remember Hoover as the one who started the depression, but he had actually been a very successul buisinessman, had organized how food was sent to help Europe during world war 1, and after was president tried to reorganize the government among other things. Compare that to Lincoln, who had run some stores that had gone out of buisiness, and in general wasn't known for anything until the Douglas debates.
About Regean, although I don't agree with what I heard of his policies, he apparently did inspire people.
I'm amazed people in the south are still mad. They didn't get industry developed, possibly tried holding it down, bullied people into voting for them in the election before Lincoln, left afterwards even though they controlled the supreme court and with moderates most of congress, were redeveloped with government money, and now people are mad at Lincoln. But that's just me.
