Might we have gone to war over the Cuban missile crisis? Would we have ever gone to the moon and reaped all the technological advances? Would the road to civil rights for AA been further delayed?

Of course, I would have FDR on there--no question. Washington, yup, Lincoln, absolutely.

I'd have to think about the fifth spot...
