4. Served the shortest term of the first 25 US presidents

Answer: William Henry Harrison

Ninth president of The United States, William Henry Harrison delivered what was at the time the longest inaugural speech of any president, an 8,445 word speech that lasted an hour and forty minutes. Unfortunately he also served the shortest term of any US President, when he died of complications from pneumonia only 31 days into office.
5. President during the Mexican-American War

Answer: James K. Polk

James Knox Polk was the 11th president of the United States. During his presidency the United States saw the annexation of Texas and the end of the Mexican-American War.
6. Fifteenth president of the United States

Answer: James Buchanan

The last US president to have been born in the 18th century, James Buchanan served as the fifteenth President of the United States. Of the first 25 presidents, he was the only one to come from Pennsylvania, and also the only one who was never married.
7. Took over the Presidency after Abraham Lincoln was assassinated

Answer: Andrew Johnson

Serving as the 17th president of the United States, Andrew Johnson took office after the assassination of Abraham Lincoln. He was the first president to be impeached (for removing his Secretary of War, Edwin Stanton, from office and thus violating the Tenure of Office Act), but was acquitted by just one vote.
8. Commanding General of the Union Army during the US Civil War

Answer: Ulysses S. Grant

Twice elected leader of his country, Ulysses S. Grant served as the 18th president of the United States from 1869-1877. As Commanding General, Grant led the Union to victory through a series of bloody battles, trapping the southern army in their defense of Richmond, effectively ending the war.
9. Served two non-consecutive terms

Answer: Grover Cleveland

Stephen Grover Cleveland was both the 22nd and 24th president of the United States. He is the first and to date only president to serve two non- consecutive terms. There are some people who believe that the Baby Ruth candy bar was actually named after his baby daughter Ruth, not the famous baseball player Babe Ruth.
10. President during the Spanish-American War

Answer: William McKinley

William McKinley was the last president to have served in the Civil War, he led the nation to victory during the Spanish-American War, and in 1900, secured the passage of the Gold Standard Act.
