The top 40 US presidents

[Takeda Shingen]

Something in there struck me as interesting:

UK scholars, by contrast, elevated FDR in recognition of the breadth of the challenges he faced as president during the Great Depression and World War II, his confident and inspirational leadership in both of these crises, and the significance of his New Deal legacy.

There is no greater crisis for a nation than to be at war with itself. So, by the criteria listed above, shouldn't Lincoln have won anyway? The American Civil War, by the nature of the conflict itself, was more traumatic for America than both the Great Depression and the Second World War combined.
