George Washington
How could you speak of the American Revolution without mentioning George Washington? The answer? You can't. Arendt doesn't forget this fact, and credits Washington for many of the great deeds that he went down in history for. Arendt says that Washington, along with his fellow American revolutionaries, were actors - people who use their wisdom to fundamentally change the world for the better, and will be remembered in history for their deeds.
Maximilien Robespierre
An unspeakable man that must be spoken of, Robespierre is credited with implementing the Reign of Terror in France during the French Revolution. Filled with radical political ideas, Robespierre and his follows beheaded many of the elites in France, for better or for worse. For sure, what Robespierre did was wrong, and he proves Arendt's point that the French Revolution was more disorganized than the American Revolution
Thomas Jefferson
One of America's founding fathers, Thomas Jefferson was also the third President of the United States. Jefferson brought with him an era of freedom, and he helped write and draft the Constitution of the United States. Arendt claims in her books that people like Jefferson, or, the founding fathers in general, were more "procedured" than their French counterparts, which is why the American Revolution was quote un-quote "better".
