Franklin is my all time favorite American. I've read three biographies and his autobiography. It's amazing to think of how full a life he had. Happy Birthday, Mr. Franklin.

Ben, I believe was our greatest patriot. As ambassador to France he financed and armed the revolution, and pulled his coonskin cap over the French, who had been trying to get a foothold on all America, but Louis XXVI soon found out financing a revolution wasn't his best idea.
The French and Indian War, brought scalping to America.
France has given the world so many things, The burning of Joan of Ark, Dreyfus, Zola, the guillotine, and Devil's Island. The french are the trouble with Canada. After WWII they were still trying to expand their empire into
Viet Nam. Not to mention Maximiilian in Mexico.
Did Ben see all this? I THINK MAYBE SO.
