History's Greatest Rebels

neither

I don't care

Jesus did exist

Jesus Christ is the greatest rebel of all time.

Jesus is real he is my savior if you don't know him before you die you will be in hell

Whether or not you believe that Jesus was who he said he was and whether or not you believe he rose from the grave overcoming death, you cannot deny that he ever existed. His existence is historically documented (outside of the Bible). That's a fact. Even religions outside of Christianity (including Islam) know this and hail him as one of the greatest prophets of all time. The only thing we can question, doubt or deny is whether he was the son of God and whether or not he rose from the dead. That is all. Now you may not believe in God and you may not agree with Christianity but to say Jesus is fake is to ignore history. Would you ever say that Alexander the Great was fake? How about Aristotle? Probably not. You probably just accept what history tells us about them but if Jesus is fake then they probably are too. After all, they both lived long before Jesus was even born. I invite you to educate yourself a little more on the subject next time before making such a lame and false statement.

Jesus didn't start a new religion - his disciples did. He never preached active rebellion against anyone, not the Romans, paganism, or Judaism. He was a courageous philosopher who preached love and peace in a world where the entire culture and economy was based on constant warfare.

Not given enough credit, even in America. He was the Che Guevara of his age, with everything to lose against impossible odds. Unlike hundreds of other rebel leaders, he practiced what he preached. He could've been America's first dictator, but was the father of not just America, but democracies everywhere. His greatest flaw was owning slaves and defending the existence of slavery in our new republic, but I suppose nobody can be perfect.

that sounds like a song

Managed to expose the corruption of the Vatican and did not recant even when threathened with his life. The new religion known as Protestanism that he found eventually reformed the Vatican itself.

There is no evidence he didn't exist!

he is total fiction

True... but there is not much evidence he existed

Spartacus is the greatest freedom fighter

Spartacus saddled up with an army of slaves and defeated several of the Roman legions sent out to capture him.

While Robert gave up his slaves willingly, Ulysses had to have soldiers come to his estate before he gave them up. If the civil war was won by the South he would have likely assisted in ending slavery in the confederacy.

Robert E. Lee did in fact own, inherit, sell, punish, and whip slaves. His military success is mainly attributable to his willingness to sacrifice troops - he has the highest casualty rate of any Civil War general. He was a blue blood fighting to uphold an aristocratic system based on slavery, a snob, and a traitor to the USA. Lee was a successful military leader and a rebel, but that doesn't make him a hero.

he hated slavery but he couldn't fight against his native Virginia

Robert E. Lee is interesting for having fought a losing war for an unsympathetic cause, yet remaining a sympathetic figure in history. Lee's legacy is borne from his capabilities and his fidelity to his duty.

Gandhi took on the British Empire unarmed, and he won.

William Wallace was portrayed by John Stamos in Fight Club.

Like Gandhi, MLK Jr. believe rebellion did not necessarily mean violence. He began a movement of civil disobedience that helped change the course of American society.

Hero of Libya who fought for over 20 years to protect the people of Libya from oppressive Italian rule. He spurned ever attempt at bribery and killed and turned away 6 Italian governors and their armies until being hung a martyr in 1931

He was a great rebel.

John Brown's abolitionist fervor brought him to a violent end. His execution served to galvanize abolitionist sentiment in the U.S. prior to the civil war.

didn't care what white racists had to say about him.

The Bold and fearless Lion of Punjab

Fidel Castro's right hand man

He is a fascinating rebel. One of the best in my opinion, but learn of him carefully he had sadistic tendencies and took his beliefs to the extremes. He had many flaws.

Just a mass murderer and sadist!
