#1 Abe Lincoln as Sam Tarly
Lincoln is regarded by many as the #1 most influential person in American history. Although the indestructible White Walkers seemingly appeared to be the biggest threat to all of Westeros, our little Sammy found their weakness by killing one with dragonglass. Lincoln: Savior of America, Sam: Savior of Westeros, ya dig?
#2 Amelia Earhart as Ygritte
Earhart was a flying machine and the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean and across the North American continent and back. Also a champion of women's rights, Earhart believed both a man and woman should be "breadwinners."

Arnold was a skilled general during the Revolutionary War before he became a big fat traitor and defected to the British Army for a large sum of money and the promise of a high rank in the army.
#4 Benjamin Franklin as Jon Snow
After fleeing from an apprenticeship without permission, Franklin became a fugitive as a young man. Instead of following in his working class family's footsteps, he paved his own way to greatness and became a Founding Father of the United States.
#5 Bill Gates as Tyrion Lannister
Born to a wealthy family, Gates shied away from the law career in mind for him and instead, just wanted to release his inner technophile. He became a brilliant inventor, businessman, and philanthropist who could buy the Seven Kingdoms seven times over.

Called the "First Lady of the World," Roosevelt is the longest serving Fist Lady. She was controversial for her outspokenness on civil rights, women's rights, WWII refugee rights, and would often publicly disagree with her husband's policies.
#7 Elvis Presely as Robert Baratheon
Sorry, Elvis fans. Considered the "King of Rock n' Roll," the ladies man had a highly successful career that fizzled out and ended with a prescription drug addiction. Then there was the whole weight gain thing
#8 George Marshall as Robb Stark
Marshall organized the largest military expansion in the American effort during WWII. The Marshall Plan got its name from the leader, which was aimed at the economic recovery of Western Europe after World War II. And well, Robb tried really hard.

Ford left home at age 16 for a machinist apprenticeship in Detroit and later became the industrial tycoon that manufactured the automobile in a way that America's middle class could (mostly) afford.
#10 Andrew Jackson as Tywin Lannister
Known amongst the worst of United States presidents, Johnson's "pride of opinion, his desire to beat, blinded him to the real welfare of the South and of the whole country," according to the Pulitzer-Prize winning historian James Ford Rhodes. Tywin reincarnated? We think so.

#14 Elizabeth Cady Stanton
Stanton fought for social reform and women's right to vote. She was also an advocate for divorce, something Margaery will surely experience in the future once she realizes being queen means being Cersei's daughter-in-law.
#15 Mary Baker Eddy as Melisandre
Eddy was the founder of Christian Science, a religious movement that promised spiritual healing to all and which was once the fastest growing religion in America. No staring into flames required.
