Benjamin Harrison – 145.4
Benjamin Harrison served in the Union Army during the Civil War and was the 23rd President of the United States. He is recognized as one of the best presidents in American history because of his excellent international ties and working relationship with Congress during his presidency. The enforcement of African-American voting rights and the entrance of Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Washington, and Wyoming to the Union were two of his administration’s most major accomplishments. Benjamin Harrison had a higher IQ than Eisenhower and Jackson, at 145.4, although he was only in the top half of the population. Because he was the great-grandson and namesake of founding father Benjamin Harrison, he was given the moniker “Little Ben.”
