Boromir's guess the famous game #415 [Thaddeus Stevens is the famous person, hownos wins!]
I'm thinking of some famous figure, it can be a philosopher, politician, entertainer, scientist, fictional character, criminal, animal, being, etc.
2. You need to ask me a yes or no question about this person, for example, "Is the person still alive?," "Does the person work in the entertainment industry?," any question you can think of that helps you to reveal the answer. The host answers with yes or no only.
3. Maximum 1 question and 2 guesses per player per answer.
4. The winner can either start a new game or say "pass." In case of a pass, the OP gets to start another.
5. Can't edit a question or guess once posted. Delete ONLY.

Hownos wins with Thaddeus Stevens, Radical Republican abolitionist who was one of the major leaders of the struggle against the Southern slaveholder class and against racism and inequality in general in the mid-19th century. He advocated not only that the Confederacy be destroyed but that the land owned by the slaveholders be redistributed to the freedmen in order to eliminate the economic basis of the racist order in the South. Since his death he spent generations being demonized by neo-Confederates, until in more recent decades since the fall of Jim Crow he has increasingly been reappraised as a positive figure, a pioneering leader in the struggle against oppression and inequality. I personally consider him one of the greatest men of the 19th century. He was famously portrayed by Tommy Lee Jones in the 2012 movie "Lincoln".
