If i recall my history correctly it was Napoleon who inspired a movement that would eventually become the American Revolution. The idea that all men are created equal. He was a peasant who destroyed the concept of feudalism by rising to power and conquering the lords and kings of virtually every nation in the world.

Napoleon was born in 1769 and although he was certainly a genius I think even he would admit that it was a little bit beyond his powers to be influencing foreign political movements at the age of 7.

Wrong. US Revolution predated French revolution. Thomas Jefferson was US ambassador during part of the Revolution, and contributed to the French Declaration of the Rights of Man.

So sad.

In reality, Napoleon was one of history’s greatest murderers, unleashing wild, nihilistic crowds to slaughtered by the millions and destroyed Christianity in Europe. Far from inspiring Washington, Napoleon’s antecedents brutally slaughtered those who had helped Washington.

Your recollection of history, then, is inaccurate. The American Revolution had occurred well before that Corsican hill-bandit written large assumed any power whatsoever in France. It probably occurred before Bonaparte even *spoke* French, as that 'gentleman' didn't speak a word of French until young adulthood...

Napoleon...was a peasant who destroyed the concept of feudalism by rising to power and conquering the lords and kings of virtually every nation in the world.

Unfortunately, Napoleon met his Waterloo--and that resulted in Bonaparte's Retreat.
