Since he was from Massachusetts and Jefferson was from Virginia, I'll say John Adams.

Catherine the Great


The longest serving monarch in European history, known as ‘The Sun King’.

Louis XIV

The principal author of The Declaration of Independence.

Thomas Jefferson


The savior of the Habsburg Dynasty who issued the Robot Patent to aid in serf reform.

Maria Theresa
