BENJAMIN FRANKLIN

Few people can embody the spirit of early America as much
as Benjamin Franklin. He lived through almost the whole of the
eighteenth century, being born six years after it began, and
dying ten years before it ended. In this time he saw the
American colonies grow from tiny settlements into a nation,
and he also contributed much to the development of the new
state.
At the age of 17 Franklin ran away to Philadelphia. he had
already received some training as a printer's apprentice, and
54

this helped him seven years later, with his first publication,
the Pennsylvania Gazette. He also received a contract to do
government printing work, which helped him to rise from his
poor background to become a successful entrepreneur. Some of
his experience in business was hared in his famous Poor
Richard's Almanak, which established his reputation throughout
the American colonies. In another of his works, the
Autobiography, which was written toward the end of his life,
he shows the same quiet common sense.

He was deeply interested in science and natural history,
and his experiments with electricity and lightning led
directly to the invention of the lightning rod. he was also
interested in improving the conditions of his fellow men. He
was involved in a number of projects in his native
Philadelphia, including the setting up of a library, a
university, a philosophical society, and  because he was a
pragmatic man  a fire prevention service. In 1753, he became
Postmaster  General of the colonies. Through this experience
he began to develop the idea that the colonies of North
American should be a single nation. Later, he went to London
to try to persuade the British government to change the
conditions, especially the taxes, that latter led the American
colonists into rebellion.
Whatever Benjamin Franklin's personal feeling about the
rebellion of the American states, he worked hard to make it
succeed. As ambassador to France, he encouraged the French to
help George Washington. After the war he attended the American
constitutional congress. This was his last contribution, for
he died later that year. He is still fondly remembered by
Americans as one of the creators of the United States.
