US Leaders and War


Which presidents and political parties were responsible for America's deadliest wars? To what extent can you blame a president or a political party for choosing to go to war? This map may hold some answers. It illustrates the history of American war from 1775 to 2006. War is a necessary evil. Politics, however, shouldn't be.

Let me know if you cannot see it, it's Flash - I'll post a link if you cannot.

  1. You know, the Civil War started on Buchanan's watch (worst.president.evar)... who was a Democrat...

    and Jefferson Davis was a Democrat too--

    but you could also say that Lincoln being elected was the match on the powder keg that fired upon Fort Sumter...
