re: People who've been hated in their time but were later greatly respected

Call right now, you'll get right in. On the green phone is Clark, the gourmet truck driver

Ronald Reagan

Leonard Euler.

Although he wasn't hated at all. But his accomplishments just kept getting more and more useful long after his death.

Sad part is, this is probably true. People who make those major milestone marks get remembered and can easily have a very positive view of them historically.

Take Lincoln for example. Even though he never freed slaves (he freed slaves in the confederate states where he had no jurisdiction in order to put it to the south, yet slavery was alive and well in states that remained in the union), he is credited as this amazing person in the journey of race relations. He's even on the record stating blacks would never be equal and wanted to ship them to their own colonies, yet he's the great man who freed the slaves, a vote which happened after his death.

Same will happen with Obama. He has destroyed Healthcare for the middle class, but he's the first Black president, so history will play up some random narrative in 150 years.

Muhammad Ali went from being hated to being loved, and very much respected, before his life was over.
