<p>Hitler. </p>
<p>Just kidding! Tesla, Franklin, Teddy Roosevelt, Andrew Jackson, Kennedy’s, John Lennon, William Travis, Thomas Payne, Jesus Christ, and most recently, Bono</p>
<p>Voltaire, Rasputin, and this guy named Paracelsus. Look him up. He wrote this whole essay on why he was better than everyone else. Total dbag, but hilarious.</p>
<p>If we’re talking America, Hamilton or either Adams.</p>
<p>I don’t think you can count Bono as a historical figure…</p>
<p>Why not? He’s done amazing work in the past 20-30 years. Just because he’s still alive doesn’t mean he hasn’t done historical things.</p>
<p>I wouldn’t call him historical if he’s still alive, and I wouldn’t call many of the things he’s done historical, yet.</p>
<p>I like Polk too. I don’t think he’s been mentioned yet. Most efficient president of all time, some would say. </p>
<p>And Roger Williams.</p>
<p>Carnegie is so cute. He looks like someone who’d I’d like as my grandpa, or like those Santas in Hallmark movies</p>
<p>John of Leyden.</p>
<p>Crazy Anabaptist, defeated by a joint Catholic - Lutheran army.</p>
<p>I think I said enough. xD</p>
<p>Voltaire, Ben Franklin, and Che Guevara!</p>
<p>Mustafa Kemal Ataturk and Joseph Stalin.</p>
<p>Thomas Paine, and Rasputin</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Lee is mentioned very often in history books (all losers are, whether they were great people or not anyhow) but he was well-liked by people, even his “enemies”…the Union wanted him to be the General for them, but he declined, as he felt he couldn’t abandon his community. He didn’t own slaves either, he just stuck to the South because it was his home.</p>
<p>Frida Kahlo. Although as far as political figures, FDR.</p>
<p>Also, Bono isn’t a historical figure, he hasn’t done anything truly historical.</p>
<p>^That too. But still not being dead/no longer being historic is a greater barrier to being a historical figure I think.</p>
<p>Otto von Bismarck.</p>
<p>The one…the only…Nikola Tesla:)</p>
<p>hmm…who do you think is the most significant historical figure in history?</p>
<p>I think officially, Jesus is considered one of the top figures, if not the top…</p>
<p>However, I think history spans across so much time and area there isn’t one person.</p>
<p>Maybe you should narrow your question somewhat. Like, who is the most significant in American history?
of the top of my head, I think of Rachel Carson and Henry Ford.</p>
