He's a hero man. He stood up to the Brits in South Africa and they put him in prison for close to 30 years as enemy to the country. He is Americas Martin Luther King to South Africa. He was a non-violent leader and the Brits feared him. When there was finally revolution, they freed him and he became leader of the Country. That's all I know.

Thomas Jefferson apparently decided to come back to life after hearing that so many people nowadays are calling him a Christian. Not that I can blame him. I'd want to set the record straight, too.

For those who believe that the preservation of the Union was more important than states' rights, Lincoln will be perceived as a more significant leader.\n\nBear in mind that initially the war was not fought for the abolition of slavery, and many give credit to Lincoln for this.  The abolition of slavery was inevitable.  The Civil War only brought it sooner.\n\nThose who despise big government might not look fondly on Lincoln. The Civil War marks the death of states' rights and the era of excessive power in the hands of the federal government.\n\nFor me, Lincoln's great strength was eloquence, matched by few. \n\nI love Teddy Roosevelt and dislike his much overated cousin, F.D.R.  Teddy believed in self-reliance and the vigorous life.  He shunned the priviledged life into which he was born and embraced the natural world.  He had grit. Too few Americans today pursue his ideals

Here is the widsom of Dr.King on Affimative Action\n\n"Whenever this issue compensatory treatment is raised, some of our friends recoil in horror. The Negro should be granted equality, they agree, but should ask for nothing more. On the surface, this appears reasonable, but is not realistic. For it is obvious that if a man enters the starting line of a race three hundred years after another man, the second would have to perform some incredible feat in order to catch up." \n"A society that has done something special against the Negro for hundreds of years must now do something special for him, to equip him to compete on a just and equal basis." \n"... for 15 centuries the Negro was enslaved and robbed of any wages — potential accrued wealth which would have been the legacy of his descendants. All of America's wealth today could not adequately compensate its Negroes for his centuries of exploitation and humiliation. It is an economic fact that a program such as I propose would certainly cost far less than any computation of two centuries of unpaid wages plus accumulated interest. In any case, I do not intend that this program of economic aid should apply only to the Negro: it should benefit the disadvantaged of all races." \n\n\nHere what he said about America\n"Don't let anybody make you think God chose America as his divine messianic force to be a sort of policeman of the whole world. God has a way of standing before the nations with justice and it seems I can hear God saying to America "you are too arrogant, and if you don't change your ways, I will rise up and break the backbone of your power, and I will place it in the hands of a nation that doesn't even know my name. Be still and know that I'm God."

Known for his work in critical thinking skills.  His books continue to be used as university textbooks.

He taught on striving for equality from  a Christian and "personal responsibility" point of view.\nSomething that has, sadly been lost on today's black leadership.

He is related to the Founders.  It is explained in the Series.  It does make for an interesting nature vs nurture debate.

"The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy."\nMartin Luther King Jr, US civil rights leader (1929-1968)

William Edward Burghardt DuBois, to his admirers, was by spirited devotion and scholarly dedication, an attacker of injustice and a defender of freedom.\n\nA harbinger of Black nationalism and Pan-Africanism, he died in self-imposed exile in his home away from home with his ancestors of a glorious past—Africa.\n\nLabeled as a "radical," he was ignored by those who hoped that his massive contributions would be buried along side of him. But, as Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. wrote, "history cannot ignore W.E.B. DuBois because history has to reflect truth and Dr. DuBois was a tireless explorer and a gifted discoverer of social truths. His singular greatness lay in his quest for truth about his own people. There were very few scholars who concerned themselves with honest study of the black man and he sought to fill this immense void. The degree to which he succeeded disclosed the great dimensions of the man."
