American Hero from Poland * 1798
General Tadeusz Kosciuszko's last will stipulated that the proceeds of Kosciuszko's American estate be spent on freeing and educating African-American slaves, including those of his friend Thomas Jefferson, who was also named as the will's executor. Kosciuszko therefor offered Jefferson the perfect opportunity to take concrete steps toward abolition of slavery!
