“Unmasking History’s Darkest Figures: 14 Bigots Who Shaped the World in Unexpected Ways”
13. Jefferson Davis
As the President of the Confederacy during the American Civil War, Jefferson Davis fought to preserve the institution of slavery, a system built on the dehumanization of Black people. His defense of the Confederacy and its racist foundations has made him a symbol of bigotry in American history.
While the Confederacy was defeated, the ideologies it championed continued to shape racial dynamics in the U.S. for years to come.
14. Osama bin Laden
Osama bin Laden, the mastermind behind the September 11 attacks, used bigotry as a tool to fuel his brand of Islamic extremism. His hatred for the West, combined with a deeply intolerant ideology, led to the deaths of thousands and ignited the Global War on Terror.
