Abraham Lincoln

 

100 Greatest Historical Figures

       True Alexander conquered the world in his teens - a world that wasn't torn apart by civil war and the abomination that was  slavery due entirely to an act of nature, the color of one's skin.  Bringing people together with one side being totally irrational as to what constitutes economic success and the other side totally unwilling to compromise is an act of fortitude and courage never to be equalled.  In my mind bringing unlike minds together in a war torn country (or in any other circumstance for that matter) is a far more difficult task than running around killing people to gain their territory.  It has a certain more ethical tone to it as well.  Yup, Abe gets first place.

       Lincoln...  Yeah I guess.  Freed the slaves and all, Civil War stuff, ect.  But the greatest figure throughout history?  Not likely even our greatest president.  I do think he should be on the list, but how about Alexander?  This guy conquered the world in his teens.  That's pretty significant if you ask me.
