I love these kinds of quizzes ;D QuizWhen you were born in 100 B.C., Rome was still a republic and the empire was only beginning. You became a consul in the Senate in 59 B.C., although many members of the Senate considered you dangerous and tried for years to prevent your gaining this office. You led campaigns into Gaul, Germania, and Briton, and the Roman Empire grew in leaps and bounds at your command. It was you who uttered the famous words "Veni, Vidi, Vici (I came, I saw, I conquered)". You were finally betrayed and assassinated by several members of Senate in 44 B.C.

Oh my... You were Lincoln!You came a long way from your humble birth in a log cabin in the Kentucky frontier in 1809. Your family moved to Illinois when you were 21, and at age 22 you become a surveyer, shopkeeper, and postmaster in Springfield. In 1834 you got elected to the Illinois state legislature, where you first denouced slavery publicly. In 1836 you got your law license. At the age of 33 you married Mary Todd, and had four children. Unfortunately, one died at age 4 and another at age 12. After losing the election to Senate, you became nominated as the new Republican party's candidate for president. You won the election, just as southern states began seceding from the Union. You became the president that saw the nation through its bloodiest war to date. During your second term in office, the same year that Robert E. Lee surrenders and ends the Civil War, you were shot in the Ford Theater by John Wilkes Booth. Later that year, the Thirteenth Amemdment to the Constitution abolished slavery.

You were Gandhi! You led a life of non-violent and highly effective protest. People were in awe of your example and followed it. Because of your actions, the nation of India won its independence from the mighty British Empire without ever firing a single shot. Unfortunately, your life came to a sudden and violent end when an assassin shot you in 1948. The nation, indeed the world, mourned your passing.
