    Same is true for almost all revolutionary figures.

    “Revolutionary” as in “US Revolutionary war” or as in “a figure that promotes revolution?” For the former, sure. Our “founding fathers” were all rich white slave owners. They enter the equation with a low score. If the latter, I’d argue many like Harriet Tubman wouldn’t fall into this category of small-r revolutionary figures being extremely flawed individuals later raised to hero status.
