Sir Winston Churchil - He opposed his own party to warn of what he thought was an imediate threat despite all pressure to the contrary he kept it up . A powerful speaker that kept the English people going taunted the Americans to help and kept the entire Empire at his side though very harsh times.

Sir Issac Brock He refused to blow up well heads in Scotland despite orders from his superiors because "he did not join His Majesty's army to do such horrible things" and later commanded the British military in Canada to a stunning victory where he lost his life.

Sgt Sam Steele of the North West Mounted Police - Who in trying to keep law and order in Canada's far north durring the gold rush said "There are many questionable things going on here and it is difficult to keep law and order amongst the Americans who are here but I am confident that these things do not happen on a Sunday". - Just where these days do you hear that kind of honesty ever?

So thats my three and yours?

How on earth will I be able to pick a best answer out of these .............?

Answer 1

Che Guevara My great hero since he fought and died to provide a better life for his people keeping true to his ideals.
Friedrich Nietzsche my favorite philosopher he taught the world a new way of viewing itself
Karl Markx The creator of the social equality principle.

Answer 2

1. Lincoln - he managed to save the Union and keep America together even thought there was terrible opposition to the war from the Democratic party of the time

2. Churchill - For the same reasons you already stated

3. Joshua Chamberlain - American Civil War - Little known Union officer, was a professor of History and Rhetoric at a small Maine University before the war. No military training. Hero of Little Round Top. Wounded 5 times during the war. Left for dead on the field once. Won the Medal of Honor. Started the war as a Captain of the 2nd Maine volunteers. Was the General chosen by Grant to accept the surrender of the Confederate forces at Appomattox. Had his command come to attention and salute the Confederate soldiers
to show their respect. Simple move, that may have done more to heal the bitter feelings between the North and South than all the other reconstruction programs.

Answer 3

1.Churchill who stood up against an unbelievable onslaught from the Germans.
2. Alexander Hamilton who was the first Secretary of the Treasury for the United States. He foresaw what the good ole' USA could become and his policies, which helped the merchant class, helped the United States become the powerful nation that it is today. Not bad considering he was an immigrant ******* from some God-Forsaken Carribean Island.
3.Sir Isaac Newton who helped explain gravity and physics and all that other stuff I don't understand, but I know is incredibly important.
