Even though the powers of the American Executive are controlled and limited, extraordinary acts of statesmanship are possible.  This seminar examines those presidents who may be called statesmen and the political circumstances in which their prudence revealed itself.  We should not be surprised that these statesmen will also have demonstrated some measure of their greatness by the way they lead and instructed and inspired the people.   Among those examined will be George Washington, Andrew Jackson, Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and Ronald Reagan.
