I think it might have been George Washington. I mean think about it; you can't go a DAY without hearing his name- or seeing his face!!! Our government is in WASHINGTON, D.C.. There's a WASHINGTON State. A WASHINGTON'S Birthday. Lots of streets & people are named "WASHINGTON". WASHINGTON'S face is on every dollar bill (& now on a $1. coin- too!), and every kid that attends school in this country KNOWS that WASHINGTON was our first president... I think HE is probably THE most famous person- we've ever had. :)

the main primary. the two Washington or Lincoln; countries that are a techniques tend to earnings the effort-free: the leaders of a rustic and their united states of america heroes are generally learnt first. additionally, in line with danger Benjamin Franklin is customary after the launch of the national Treasor! Chuck Norris is likewise especially primary. He can walk and be proud; he's one among 2 in straight forward terms men in the international that persons makes jokes on them approximately their supremacy. the different being an different determination: Mickle Phelps. So we've: Washington Lincoln Franklin Norris Phelps in line with danger JFK, if we've been twenty years in the past. yet, i might say Washington is the main primary; you won't do lots technology, or in no way seen Norris on your very own existence. in line with danger the only element you will learn in college is that Georges Washington fought and grew to alter into President.

In my opinion, because everyones answer will be based on opinion the most famous person would have to be judged on different categories. I don't believe there is only 1 most famous person. Theres tons of famous people. Anyone who made a positive impact (theres hundreds) on the USA would be considered famous to me. Martin Luther King, George Washington, Christopher Columbus. Tons

Alfred E. Newman. For those mentioning Christopher Columbus - he never set foot in or near the United States. Lincoln has to be the best known, or famous, followed by Babe Ruth.

The single most influential individual would have to be Abraham Lincoln.
He crossed racial barriers with his presidency, and gave the equal rights movement its first real step.
He also kept the United States UNITED, thereby, affecting legions of people, both here and abroad.

1. General Cornwallis (British General who lost the War of Independence)
2. Abraham Lincoln
3. Nancy Reagen
4. Martin Luther King
