The Top Ten
1 George Washington George Washington (February 22, 1732– December 14, 1799) was an American military officer, statesman, and Founding Father who served as the first president of the United States from 1789 to 1797. Appointed by the Continental Congress as commander of the Continental Army, Washington led the Patriot forces to victory in the American Revolutionary War and served as the president of the Constitutional Convention of 1787, which created the Constitution of the United States and the American federal government. Washington has been called the "Father of the Nation" for his manifold leadership in the formative days of the country.

This list is about people in American history that you should not hate like George Washington
Yes their are underrated people like warren G. Harding but this list is not called most underrated people in American history

How could anyone hate one of the best U.S Presidents of all time?

He's a better president than Obama, that's for sure.

Why would people hate Washington?

2 Abraham Lincoln Abraham Lincoln (February 12, 1809 – April 15, 1865) was an American lawyer and statesman who served as the 16th president of the United States from 1861 until his assassination in 1865. Lincoln led the nation through the American Civil War and succeeded in preserving the Union, abolishing slavery, bolstering the federal government, and modernizing the U.S. economy. He married Mary Todd and they had four boys, only one of whom lived to maturity. In 1858 Lincoln ran against Stephen A. Douglas for Senator. He lost the election, but in debating with Douglas he gained a national reputation that won him the Republican nomination for President in 1860.

This list doesn't make any sense. By reading the name, I inferred that you meant that you would be listing people who are normally hated, but do not deserve all of the hate. To put it into simpler terms, "Underrated." But, you just listed a bunch of people that Americans love, which makes no sense, because there are tons of lists about the best people of all time, and the best Americans of all time. This is just a copy of those lists.

You should like him because he freed slaves

He was also an Honest president

Of course, he kills vampires

3 Benjamin Franklin Benjamin Franklin (January 6, 1706 – April 17, 1790) was an American polymath who was active as a writer, scientist, inventor, statesman, diplomat, printer, publisher, and political philosopher. Among the leading intellectuals of his time, Franklin was one of the Founding Fathers of the United States, a drafter and signer of the United States Declaration of Independence, and the first United States Postmaster General.
4 Martin Luther King Jr. Martin Luther King Jr. (born Michael King Jr.; January 15, 1929 – April 4, 1968) was an African American minister and activist who became the most visible spokesperson and leader in the civil rights movement from 1955 until his assassination in 1968. King is best known for advancing civil rights through nonviolence and civil disobedience, inspired by his Christian beliefs and the nonviolent activism of Mahatma Gandhi.

Why anyone would hate this man is beyond me. He was hands down the best civil rights leader in American history--and a peaceful one at that, he was an extremely well educated man, and even a great pastor! When you look at his life and see all the positive things he has done it is hard to think that people could hate him.
But alas there will always be bigotry and hate among men. Simply because people who are like MLK are outspoken and fight for what is right even when others were angry about it.
Very admirable very courageous.

5 John F. Kennedy John Fitzgerald Kennedy (May 29th, 1917 - November 22, 1963) commonly referred to by his initials JFK, was an American politician who served as the 35th President of the United States from January 1961 until his assassination. The Cuban Missile Crisis, The Bay of Pigs Invasion, the Nuclear Test Ban Treaty, the establishment of the Peace Corps, developments in the Space Race, the building of the Berlin Wall, the Trade Expansion Act to lower tariffs, the Civil Rights Movement, the "New Frontier" domestic program, and abolition of the federal death penalty in the District of Columbia all took place during his presidency.

We don't know the whole story. Link with the Maffia, scandal with Marilyn Monroe... Someone killed him for a reason we will never know. Maybe he was not a saint after all.

JFK saved the world. He stopped many nuke operations and peacefully negotiated with the USSR.

6 Ronald Reagan Ronald Wilson Reagan (1911-2004) was an American politician and actor who was 40th President of the United States from 1981 to 1989 . Prior to his presidency, he was the 33rd Governor of California from 1967 to 1975, following a career as a Hollywood actor and union leader until his death in 2004

Come on, one of the worst on political matters. Neo-liberalism at his worst. Because of his political views he created together with British prime minister Margaret Tatcher a disaster that was felt many years after ( stock exchange scandals in the 21st century, corruption on high levels... ). Doesn't belong here ' cause we still feel his wrong policies now and we are still recovering by paying the price.

Democrats continue to pretend that the president can and should be Santa Claus, spending other people's money like there is no tomorrow. Reagan showed the president can and should be a leader.

Actually, I will say this is accurate, even though I am a Democrat. Reagan's policies were God awful, and we still haven't fully recovered, but he was a very likable person.

Reagan was the Greatest president. He did wonders for this country.
