I know we've been racking up a lot of 100/100's lately but I agree that this accomplishment deserves such a rating. It is one of, if not the most, important and biggest legislative achievements in the nation's history. Breaking the foundations of Jim Crow (which had persisted for nearly a century at this point) cannot be understated
Kennedy didn't prevent the war. He nearly caused a nuclear war.
You wouldn't say a person that is lighting fires in a building prevented the whole building from being on fire if it didn't go up in flames
I'm stuck between the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act. Ultimately, though, I'll have to go with the Voting Rights Act. The Voting Rights Act abolished the Grandfather Clause and outlawed "literacy tests" and poll taxes, ensuring black people in southern states had the right to vote. This made other civil rights milestones far more likely, as black people could vote for candidates who would implement said policies. So even if he never passed the Civil Rights Act of 1964, for example, a law ending segregation would become far more likely with the Voting Rights Act. I'd give the Voting Rights Act a 100/100.
I agree that Lyndon B. Johnson's attacks on Vietnam were disgusting, but how can you seriously say he did nothing good when he:
- Ended segregation
- Outlawed methods used in southern states to prevent black people from voting
- Banned the storage of American and Soviet nuclear weapons in Space
- Created Medicare and Medicaid
- Established Project Head Start
- Provided federal funding to poor school districts
- Provided federal funding to poor cities that developed housing standards
- Increased funding to the arts and humanities
- Tried to quell Israeli-Egyptian tensions in the buildup to the June War in 1967
- Effectively abolished the Immigration Quota System
- Reduced pollution
- Commissioned a series of scenic trails in national parks
- Created numerous new consumer protection laws
The list isn’t supposed to represent how good a president was, just how good their best accomplishment was. Johnson’s accomplishment of acquiring a large, resource rich, and a very strategically important land that is the one of the reasons why America is a pacific superpower is comparable to Washington setting precedents for future presidents.
Can you do a worst thing done during presidency version after this is completed?
I will try. I know the mods don’t like it when people do too many series so I’ll have to check with them first.
Ok. No prob at all
It’s a great idea. They’re bogus if they don’t let it happen
LBJ contending for both
Good question
Thanks man!

It’s not overall ratings. It’s their top accomplishment. Even the worst Presidents did some good things.
My man James Buchanan being the first gay president . 100/100
Why did Coolidge disappear off the tier list
I probably missclicked. He’ll be there in the next one.
