Most likely, everyone dead by 1950 was a total bastard, if you measure them by modern standards. If you go all the way back to the 1700’s, that’s could include tolerating or participating in slavery, and of course colonial atrocities.
The American founding fathers were radical progressives for their day, though.
Literally everyone dead by 1950. Not because they were born bad, but because there’s only so many ideological pits you can climb out of single-handedly. Statistically, there’s going to be something that would, today, get whatever person ahead of their time canceled.
John Brown wasn’t so big on women and queers, IIRC. Probably not non-Christians either, although that’s just a guess, since a lot of abolitionism had religious undertones.

I also can’t say that for certain; John Brown, comes to mind.
The best president is probably FDR, who was also dead by 1945.
Edit: Because it’s kind of funny for me, I’m leaving the John brown part, but you definitely meant people in power.
There are plenty of bright spots if you look.
