According to historians, who was the most popular American historical figure of his/her time? [I Love History]

UPDATE: I will take either of 2 answers, because 'historical figure' can be interpreted differently.

This is impossible to know with 100% certainty, of course, but there is a fairly firm view of this.

I’d have to say George Washington.

@JonLosAngeles66 That's a good guess. And there may be some historical opinion that he ranks #1. I'd have to go back and check, and I'm too lazy. Some people were worried about him, that he might choose to be a king and tyrant....very complex stuff back then.
