#1 Andrew Jackson - 7th President: Jackson was known as a polarizing President aka he liked to start fights. This included duels (many times fatal to his opponents). This earned him the nickname "Old Hickory" because he was rough around the edges, aggressive, and smelled like Hickory Farms smoked sausage ( I made that last part up). He fought against the aristocracy from which he came from. Most important to note, is that Jackson was the mastermind behind the Trail of Tears which led to the deaths of 3/4 of the Cherokee tribe and many other Native American communities. The death marches during the Trail of Tears caused death mostly by way of starvation or freezing to death. Jackson's involvement makes him the President who has murdered the most people both with his own hands and through mandate.
#5 James Monroe - 5th President: He wrote The Monroe Doctrine in 1823. This document states that any country that tries to colonize land or interfere with the U.S states rule of law, would be viewed aggressively and further action (likely hostile) would be taken. This foremost tells us about Monroe's disposition. The dude had boundary issues. Get too much in his space and he won't just tell you to "Back the eff up!", he'll show you. With some military history, James Monroe can likely fend of danger. But with no notable war stories we're pretty sure he'd go down before his colleagues. He'd be swinging, but down nonetheless.
