Which historical figure is the most overrated and why?
 
Thomas Edison. His shit was weak compared to Nikola Tesla. But he waged a campaign of propaganda and took credit for Tesla’s genius.

Also, Alexander Graham Bell. He stole the patent for the telephone.
 
Karl Marx is up there for sure.
 
Teddy Roosevelt, he’s a great character, his story is a lot of fun and he’s very quotable. There have been a bunch of great, entertaining books written about him and he’s a definite icon of masculinity.

Historically speaking, you could leave him out of American history and the story wouldn’t really change.
 
Probably Jesus.

Son of God? C'mon. About as over rated as it gets

Bull moose! Third party will rise again!
 
Either Stalin, Lenin or Obama.

I'm gonna go with Obama, add first name as needed and you'll still be correct..

Honorable mentions also go to the following:
  • Joan of Arc
  • Amelia Earhart
  • Eleanor Roosevelt
