Benjamin Franklin helped to get the French to assist the Americans in the Revolutionary War. He was also a brillant writer and scientist.
James Madison not only wrote the Constitution, but he drafted and helped to pass the Bill of Rights and the Louisiana Purchase.
Thomas Jefferson: One of the most eloquent and smartest men in American history. Wrote the Declaration of Independence.
Harriet Beecher Stowe: Wrote Uncle Tom's Cabin, helped to inform many in the North of the awful plight of slaves in the South.
Booker T. Washington: One of the first African-American civil rights leaders.
Theodore Roosevelt: First man to win a Nobel Peace prize, helped found National Parks, great military leader.
These are my inspirational people, hope they help!

Inspirational... try George Washington and all the signers of the declaration of idependence. If we would have lost the war all those people would have been tried and died for treason. For me they are inspirational because they put their lives on the line for what they believed in.
