...but that fact doesn't define them, nor was it the impetus for their careers or basis of their legacies.
Washington defeated a world superpower, driven by a desire to establish local governance and representation.
Jefferson was a disciple of The Enlightenment who distilled philosophies and principles that still resonate with people of all races, creeds and backgrounds, all over the world.
Davis, Lee, Jackson and Co. made their name trying to establish a government and maintain a social structure that allowed one human to own another. It is the primary basis of their notoriety.
