My historical figure was Diego Rivera. He was born in Guanajuato, Mexico in 1886. Although he traveled to different places for his profession of painting and muralisting, his birth and death place was in Mexico, his home country. Diego’s early life consisted of school, traveling, and drawing. He was inspired by the artist Jose Posada. At the age of ten, Diego attended the San Carlos Academy of Fine Arts in Mexico City.

Cleopatra as a Historical Figure In hieroglyphs, the name reads “Kleopadra”. It is a name which in Greek means “Glory of Her Race” (Weigall, 44).

I would have to say that Abraham Lincoln I think is the best president greatest historical figure because, he ended the Civil War and ended slavery. Sadly, he was assassinated in 1865, by John Wilkes Booth. We are lucky he ended slavery or else we would still be in that mess. If I could I would visit his house and were he ended the Civil War.

Two Historical Figures That Changed America In 1786, Shay’s Rebellion sparked an uprising against the Massachusetts legislator, due to the unfair taxes that were placed on the farmer’s land.

of a fictional pop-culture icon and a historical figure. Rarely do the people we read about in history books remind us of characters we see on the big screen. However, when a television program, such as The Walking Dead, highlights round personas that face major developments throughout the series, the characters become immensely vivid and believable.
