I feel that Osama Bin Laden has had a large negative impact on the United States. Our country Is getting into more and more debt by the second and thousands of people are dying in war. Also life in New York City has never been the same. What I feel is interesting about him is that once he was a peaceful person. I remember watching a documentary about him when he was little. Some kids were picking on him and one of his friends stepped in and punched one of Osamas bullies. After Osama replied "If you had just given me a minute I would have solved that conflict peacefully" and i still remember that because my jaw dropped to the floor when I heard that.

martin luther king

i think the activist of the civil rights movement. You could pick one but it was really a combined effort of everyone that got the results.

My personal favorite is John Adams. He is actually considered by some to be one of the main reasons that America was founded. By others he was considered a hotheaded fool so he was pushed to the background where he wasn't content to stay. He was one of the first to suggest succeeding from England. However he couldn't do it because no one liked him so he had Richard H. Lee do it. Without him we might be English subjects.
