It was because he favored the British over the French as President isn't it? <_<

Though all this dissembling on how the CSA is an enemy opens up the nomination to Grant, Sherman, Sheridan and Thomas.

There is no dissembling here.  People in the Civil War are not under consideration, because both sides were Americans.

Treasonous rebels in armed insurrection against the lawful government and constitution of the Uniteds states do not get to count as foes of america?

If that's the case, then Cromwell is the greatest enemy the English had ever encountered, because he beat their asses.

:lol:  I've no idea to be honest.  We've got statues of Gandhi and Nehru too.  And Smuts who wasn't always terribly pro-British.

Cromwell was God's Englishman.  He beat the treasonous rebels against the English constitution.  Prince Rupert wasn't good enough to make the top 5 :P
Let's bomb Russia!

Gah.

Why not just accept that, for whatever reason, the topic here is the non-Civil War enemies of America?  :lol:

That discussion is about as interesting as one on the non-decepticon enemies of Optimus Prime.
First Maxim - "There are only two amounts, too few and enough."
First Corollary - "You cannot have too many soldiers, only too few supplies."
Second Maxim - "Be willing to exchange a bad idea for a good one."
Second Corollary - "You can only be wrong or agree with me."

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

I dunno, he managed to kill a shitload of Chinamen, something a lot of other better generals never had the opportunity to do.

A better (hell, even competent) general in his place would have killed a fuckton more, and not have had MacArthur's butcher's bill.
