Statement 1 is correct. Derozio, also known as Henry Louis Vivian Derozio, was indeed one of the key leaders of the Young Bengal movement. He was a prominent educator, poet, and intellectual figure who inspired the movement with his liberal and rational ideas.

Statement 2 is incorrect. The Young Bengal movement was not inspired by the American Civil War. Instead, it was a socio-cultural and intellectual movement that emerged in Bengal during the early 19th century, primarily in response to the conservative practices of society and the orthodoxies prevalent at that time.

Therefore, only statement 1 is correct
