{{quote|"''...we now live in a world where kings and noblemen rule the roost. And they've turned all of central Europe -- '''our home, now, ours and our childrens' to come''' -- into a raging inferno. We are surrounded by a Ring of Fire. Well, I've fought forest fires before. So have lots of other men in this room. The best way to fight a fire is to start a counterfire. So my position is simple. I say we start the American Revolution -- a hundred and fifty years ahead of schedule!''"|'''Michael Stearns''', ''[[1632]]''}}
The problem with the past is that it's so uncivilized, but any time traveler worth their salt can fix that. Just introduce it to the delights of modern technology, several centuries early. You may need to go through a few intermediate stages, replicating the history of technology on fast forward, but you know exactly what needs doing. How difficult can it be?

* The ''[[Marvel 1602]]'' mini-series has a time-displaced [[Captain America (comics)]] sent back to Elizabethan times. When asked to return to the future, he insists on staying to try and build a better America from the beginning—which he does in small ways, such as helping a group of colonists survive a winter that should have wiped them out, or warning the natives against selling their land to unscrupulous capitalists. The final touch comes when, because of his actions, the American colonies declare independence from Britain 174 years early.
