Of whom did Garry Wills say was "probably the most influential teacher in the history of American education."

*Hint* He was a teacher at Princeton (known then as the College of New Jersey) and under his tutelage they produced a U.S. President, a Vice-President, twenty-one Senators, twenty-nine Congressmen and twelve state Governors.

[JohnFKennedy]

Oh yes, and bonus marks will be awarded for any names of those produced.

So, a bonus mark for the President, the Vice-President, each of the Senators, Congressmen and Governors.

If you name all that is a hefty 65 points which that question is worth.

*Beep* Incorrect.

[Lunar]

I would have said Wilson too, I know he is the only president from New Jersey.

[Schmitz in 1972]

John Witherspoon, he taught James Madison, Aaron Burr, and I don't know the names of the Senators, Congressmen, and Governors

[ATFFL]

John Witherspoon, he taught James Madison, Aaron Burr, and I don't know the names of the Senators, Congressmen, and Governors

Add to that list Patrick Henry

[JohnFKennedy]

John Witherspoon, he taught James Madison, Aaron Burr, and I don't know the names of the Senators, Congressmen, and Governors

*Ding Ding* Coooooooooooooooorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrect. Congratulations Liberty.

For that you receive 3 points. I think I may have the number of Senators wrong actually, I believe it may have only been 20, with Burr possibly included so it wouldn't be worth as many as I thought.

Tredrick, I am not sure he did teach Patrick Henry though I may be wrong, upon reading a biography it says he was home-schooled so I don't know.

Did he? Oh, I thought he meant he read it and remembered it from there.

[ATFFL]

In the interest of full disclosure I knew it compared him to Abraham Lincoln and looked it up to get teh wording right.

I remembered it as "The civil rights movement should thank god for Bull Connor.  He's done more for them than any man since Lincoln."

But I first knew it form Bartlett, you are right on that.

I actually was only looking for "the civil rights movement should thank God for Bull Connor" so your answer is fine.
