Great and Evil Leaders in History

GREAT!
Martin Luther King, Jr.
George Washington
John F. Kennedy
Julius Caesar
Abraham Lincoln

I chose these people because they all did great things for society. Martin Luther King, Jr. gave colored people a voice when they needed it most, particularly with his famous "I Have A Dream!" Speech. George Wahsington was one of the founding fathers of the USA and helped us win in the Revolutionary War. John F. Kennedy brought a great deal of charisma to the position of US President, and everyone all over the country loved him at the time. Julius Caesar stabilized Italy during the peak of Roman culture and led great achievements in many fields. Abraham Lincoln also was a great leader in helping the North win the Civil War.
EVIL!
Adolf Hitler
Fidel Castro
Qin Shi Huangdi
Richard Nixon
George W. Bush

In my eyes, the above five have all brought immense shame to themselves and their nations. Adolf Hitler, of course, was responsible for the Holocaust that killed 6 million Jews, among many others. Fidel Castro was the cruel dictator of Cuba for far too many years. Qin Shi Huangdi lived long ago during the Qin dynasty in China, but he was a ruthless ruler, working his subjects to the bone. Richard Nixon took part in the Watergate Scandal, stealing large sums of money from the U.S. government. Finally, President George W. Bush went into Iraq with nothing but misinformation and completely destabilized the government there, killing many civilians and soldiers in the process.
