Which early 19th century (early 1800s) reformer had the biggest impact on your life? Briefly explain in a one to two sentence explanation.

Explanation:

I'm going to give you one that is late in the 1800s and another that was in the middle of the 1800s.

The first one is Charles Russel who was the founder of the "Bible Students" later on the Jehovah's Witnesses. He was sensible and honest and relied on the Bible. His virtue was that he studied (along with those who followed him) until he was satisfied that he understand what was murky to him. I like that honest work that went into what he declared.

My second choice is perhaps the greatest practical physicist in the history of physics. He was responsible for so much, and much of it was quite straight forward. If you are really interested in Michael Faraday, you can read his Christmas Lectures which are the very foundation of a lot of disciplines. It's easy reading and very entertaining. He was the rock star of his time, and people treasured tickets to those lectures. He belonged to a church whose only claim to fame was that he belonged to it. Humphrey Davy, who was no slouch in the history of science, was once asked what his greatest discovery was. His answer was Michael Faraday.
