my reason for picking him was basically he stopped a war. The Russo Japanese war was stopped due to his diplomacy and earned him a Nobel Peace Prize in the midst.

I think taking Einstein not as American was a mistake. It allowed a good scientist to hit the board from America, and this is the consequence.

I thought about JPJ, but I didn't know if he actually did anything or whether it was just the one fight.

I fear we would have 10 or 12 founding fathers on the list and there was not that much talent there, but we revere them. Luckily, we've largely stayed away. I would've shot someone for taking Washington as their army chief, for example.
