Why did Garibaldi become such a hero to the Italian people in 1860? Does it appear from the newspaper account that Garibaldi was a charismatic leader? If so, how? How important is charisma in a revolutionary leader? How does Garibaldi's comportment (look it up!) as a political and military leader prefigure the conduct of later revolutionary military leaders and activists (think of Vladimir Lenin, Emiliano Zapata, Pancho Villa, Ho Chi Minh, Fidel Castro, Che Guevara, Malcom X)?

Garibaldi became a hero because he was the leader of the thousand red shirts which were an army fighting for Italy's unification.it took him ten years until rome was anessed and italy became completely unified in 1870. Garibaldi's
comportment was made up of devotion hope and persistence towards italy's freedom, independence and unification.
Garibaldi was a great leader and a well respected man. He lead the army fighting for Italys unification he lead this army for 10 straight years this shows how much confidence and bravery he had in his heart.Italy was finally unified in the year 1870.
