Height of every US President
I always knew Abraham Lincoln, at 6' 4", was considered a giant in his era, but I didn't realize that George Washington and Thomas Jefferson, at 6' 2", were pretty tall in their even earlier era. However, I have read that American men were, on average, about 3 inches taller than British men of the same late 18th century era, probably due to country living, better nutrition, and less sickness.

Someone like Thomas Jefferson probably wouldn't get elected nowadays
I think many of our early presidents would have a hard time winning a modern election. Washington was a quiet stoic who was not known for his public speaking ability. You have to have a certain amount of charisma, ruthlessness, and political savvy to make it in our modern political sphere. The only president that really fits that bill pre-Lincoln is Andrew Jackson. More on reddit.com
