famous children

Hi,

Does anyone know the name of a child that has affected history in a big way? I can just think of LInda Brown, thanks!

Personally, I think that history has been significantly affected by the influence of Helen Keller and her teacher, Anne Sullivan. Helen Keller - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

She's just the first one I thought of off the top of my head.

There have also been children who have influenced laws and subsequently shaped history in huge ways because of circumstances where they have been victimized in some way and the resulting legislation was so far-reaching as to affect society from when it was enacted to the present time and most likely, much further into the future.

Please see the following sites.

What about Pocohontas?
She was believed to be only 12 or 13 when she became famous.

Such a brave little Indian!
