I am seeking a little education here. It seems so many time throughout American history our forefathers made note of Napoleon Bonaparte.
Well my question is why was he considered so great? What did he really accomplish? So far the only major lasting accomplishment I have learned is that Napoleon, for all intents and purposes, ended the reign of the first Catholic church as the national head of state(Roman Catholic church state).
What is strange is that I had never even thought about this until I started reading about it recently. They certainly never mentioned it in highscool history and I didn't study history in collage.
Anyway I'm looking for some views here and possibly some good chronological sources so if you have any(aside from wiki please) I am interested in them.
