Benjamin Harrison holds the record with six states added to the union while he was President. The states added were N. Dakota, S. Dakota, Idaho, Washington, Montana and Wyoming. ( Even though Harrison won 16 of the 20 electoral votes from the new states in 1892, he still lost the election. )

Which President had the most states admitted to the union during his administration?

During the term of Benjamin Harrison (1889-1893), 6 states were admitted to the Union, more than under any other President. The states were North Dakota, South Dakota, Montana, Washington, Idaho, and Wyoming. The original 13 states were already part of the Union in 1789, so George Washington's two terms (1789-1797) saw only three "new" states, If the Confederate states were considered by "re-admission", Andrew Johnson (1865-1869) would have the most with 8 of the Southern states regaining representation in Congress.


Which president would most likely support the secession of the Southern states from the Union?

The president most likely to support the secession of the Southern states from the Union would be John C. Calhoun, who served as Vice President and was a strong proponent of states' rights and nullification. While not a president himself, his political ideology aligned closely with the interests of Southern states seeking to secede. Among actual presidents, Andrew Johnson, who succeeded Abraham Lincoln, had a more lenient approach to Reconstruction and might have been more sympathetic to Southern grievances. However, it is important to note that no president openly supported secession, as it was a constitutional crisis.
