This was a good pole. It was a hard decision but I chose John Randolph because I agree with just about everything he did, and I've put a flag on his grave.

If the pole included President and CSA Congressman John Tyler, I would have definitely chosen him, because he had the greatest impact on limiting the power of the government as President.

The only reason I didn't choose Patrick Henry, was because unlike most of the people listed on this pole, he eventually began leaning towards being a Federalist for national security reasons after the French Revolution.
