February 19, 2016: AmericanStudying Non-favorites: Low Five



[Each year for the last couple, I’ve followed up my Valentine’s series with a week AmericanStudying some things of which I’m not as big a fan. Please share your own non-favorites for a crowd-sourced airing of grievances this weekend!]
Five historical figures with whom I have a bone—or a whole skeleton—to pick. To see the full x-ray, check out those posts! [And yes, this is a repeat of the final post of last year’s non-favorites series—but it led to some great follow-up responses from fellow AmericanStudiers, and I’d love to prompt some more of the same!]
2)      George Wallace
3)      Rutherford B. Hayes
4)      George McClellan and Andrew Johnson (two for the price of one!)
5)      Andrew Jackson
Crowd-sourced post this weekend,
Ben
PS. So one more time: what do you think? Pushback on this post, or other non-favorites you’d share?
