Andrzej Tadeusz Bonawentura Kosciuszko (1746 - 1817), fought in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth's struggles against Russia and the Kingdom of Prussia and on the American side in the American Revolutionary War. He was a close friend and admirer of Thomas Jefferson, and as Supreme Commander of the Polish National Armed Forces, led the 1794 'Kosciuszko Uprising'. He was considered a hero for his role in the American Revolution and for his leadership of a national insurrection in his homeland.
