How did Garibaldi influence the unification of Italy?
My influence, I believe, was in igniting the popular will for unity. When I led the Thousand, it was not merely a military campaign, but a call to the Italian heart. My autobiography tells this story – how ordinary men, moved by a common cause, defied empires. I demonstrated that the 'sword is the key to liberty,' that ordinary citizens, driven by *onore* and a love for their *patria*, could overthrow established powers. I aimed to make Italy whole, and then, as I often said, we must strive to make Italians themselves worthy of that unity.
