Today, his portrait hangs in the White House, where President Donald Trump is dealing with three major crises at the same time. In between were 43 presidents—if you count Grover Cleveland twice—who each had to manage and navigate their own emergencies, disasters, wars, scandals, blunders, upheaval, revolts, and crises of all stripes. Serving as the leader of the free world is a tough gig, and the American presidency is believed to be the hardest job in the world. Even those presidents who serve only one term appear to have aged well beyond their years when they come out the other end. The position comes with extraordinary stress, pressure, and responsibility, and that's when things are going well. Every generation of Americans has faced its own era-defining challenges and struggles, and the president of the United States is called upon to meet those challenges, manage those struggles, and to lead, soothe, console, and reassure the nation that its people are in good hands. This is not easy work. Some presidents rise to the challenge, and others are consumed by it. All, however, are shackled to the crises of their day, and their legacies are defined by how they led during times of uncertainty and danger. Using a variety of sources, including presidential biographies and historical records, Stacker created a list of crises that defined every American presidency. It's important to note that many presidents endured and managed several crises—often simultaneously—during their time in office. Many were so consequential that it's difficult to choose just one. From Washington to Trump, people find out what their leaders are made of when the going gets tough. These are the crises that made—or broke—every one of America's presidents.

LOTS of fireworks. Fireworks on the Fourth of July date almost all the way back all the way to the nation's founding. The first celebration of Independence Day was held July 4, 1777, exactly one year after the Continental Congress adopted the Declaration of Independence. The Congress actually declared its independence two days earlier, with John Adams thinking July 2 would forever be the “most memorable epoch in the History of America.” But since the Declaration of Independence was approved after some revisions on the fourth, that's the date popular history remembers. At that first Independence Day celebration in 1777, there were boats decked in red, white, and blue, 13-gun salutes (representing the 13 colonies) and, of course, fireworks. In the modern-day U.S., consumer fireworks are a $1 billion dollar business. Most of that consumption does occur right around the Fourth of July—and in all states but one (Massachusetts), some types of fireworks are legal to buy. Several states have additional restrictions on airborne fireworks, but allow sparklers and other, less intense fireworks. Americans' love of fireworks isn't limited to Independence Day, though: “Display fireworks,” which are used in commercial displays rather than set off by consumers, are themselves a $360 million business. Thus, even in states in which consumer fireworks are tightly regulated, fireworks shows still happen regularly at sporting events, festivals, and concerts. States which tightly regulate fireworks have a solid rationale: exploding things are dangerous. ValuePenguin reports a 325% spike in injuries between July 3 and 4, with “the majority 17.1% of these injuries happen to children ages 5 to 10 years.” Massachusetts's Office of the State Fire Marshal reminds consumers that even sparklers burn at 1800 degrees Fahrenheit. There are some key steps to keeping everyone safe: don't let kids near the fireworks, keep cold water on hand, and don't go anywhere near any airborne fireworks after they've been lit; even if they appear to be dormant, throw water on them first just in case. Now that the party poopery is out of the way, check out our gallery of states spending the most on fireworks, ranked by imports to the state per capita based on data from the U.S. Trade Census. States are ranked based on their imports in 2019, the most recent full year of data which is available. Delaware has not imported sufficient fireworks in 2018, 2019, and 2020 to be included in this database. 2020 data are not available for Rhode Island, Georgia, and North Carolina, and only 2018 data are available for Alaska. States across the country have seen a massive uptick in the number of fireworks being purchased and set off—often recklessly and illegally—during the coronavirus shutdown. This list does not include that surge as the data go only through April 2020. Read on to find out which state spends a whopping $8.80 per person on fireworks and which states only spend pennies.
