Dr Benjamin Franklin is a famous American politician and scientist. He is also a publisher, printer, journalist, writer and philanthropist. He is also an outstanding diplomat and inventor. He was one of the important leaders in the American revolution, participated in drafting many important documents, and served as the American ambassador to France, which successfully won France's support for American independence. He raised arms and war funds in France and was deeply supported by the French people. Even the cigarette case has his head on it. Franklin made many electrical experiments and invented the lightning rod. Other things he invented include bifocal glasses, frog shoes and so on. Franklin was a member of the Aid Association and was elected as a member of the Royal Society. He was also the first postmaster general in the United States. Benjamin is the youngest son of his father 17 children. He went to school until he was ten years old. At the age of twelve, he was an apprentice in his brother's publishing house. /kloc-when I was 0/7 years old, I went to Philadelphia. A few months later, I went to London and worked in a printing factory. Later, with the help of a businessman, he returned to Philadelphia, set up his own printing company, published newspapers and published his own articles, which gained considerable respect in the local society. Then he published a collection of proverbs, which made him very popular.

173 1 year, Franklin and others jointly established the first public library in Philadelphia. The books in the library include theology, history, literature and science. Later, cities in North America followed suit. It has played a lot of roles in inspiring people all over North America.

1736, Franklin set up the first volunteer fire brigade in North America.

Franklin began to build the college in 1743, and the college was established eight years later, which was the predecessor of the University of Pennsylvania. At the same time, he began to study electricity and other scientific topics.

1748, Franklin quit the printing business, but he still made considerable profits from his partners, so he had time to make various inventions and research, including his research on electricity. He found that the charge is divided into "positive" and "negative", and the quantities of the two are conserved. 1752, Franklin made a famous experiment: flying a kite in a thunderstorm, which proved that "lightning" was caused by electricity. This is a very dangerous experiment. In fact, other scientists were electrocuted while conducting similar experiments at the same time. Until now, many people still have doubts about whether Franklin really carried out such an experiment and how it was carried out. But there is no doubt that Franklin invented the lightning rod; In order to praise Franklin's research in electricity, the Royal Academy of Sciences elected him as an academician in 1753.

In addition to studying electricity, Franklin also made contributions to meteorology. In order to find news for his newspaper, he often goes to the farmer's market to collect news. He found that storms often appear in one place, and then there are storms in other places. He thought that the two might actually be the same storm, so he proposed that the storm would move, and finally derived the weather analysis and weather map in the future, which changed the method of relying solely on one place for forecasting.

175 1 year, Franklin established a hospital in Pennsylvania. This hospital will be the first hospital in America in the future.

Franklin was also an outstanding government official. But he also used his power to seek promotion for his relatives and defiled his official career. His most important achievements include reforming the postal system in North America, taking up diplomatic posts, dealing with the suzerain Britain on behalf of the North American colonies, and then going to France.

1754, he led the representatives of Pennsylvania to attend the colonial congress held in Albany, new york, and put forward the plan of colonial union. Although the plan was not accepted at that time, many of its contents were later written into the US Constitution. 1757, on behalf of the people of Pennsylvania, he went to England to make a statement to the king of England. He lived for five years, during which he explained the colonial situation and views to the British people and government officials. Because of his achievements in science, Oxford University awarded him an honorary doctorate during this period. It was also during this period that he campaigned for his illegitimate son, which made him a successful governor of New Jersey. 1764, Franklin once again represented Pennsylvania, England. In London, he opposed the Indian donation bill of 1765. However, Franklin also obtained the position of American Indian donation agent for his personal friend, which greatly damaged his integrity and public support. It is generally believed that this conflict of interest prevented Franklin from becoming a higher elected public office in the future. Even if he succeeds in repealing the bill, public support for him will not come back. But he still worked for the American colonies and made representations to Britain for the colonies before the American Revolution. This also caused Franklin to break with the illegitimate child loyal to the king of England.

1767, Franklin went to France and was warmly welcomed by the French. After returning to Philadelphia, he was elected as a member of the Continental Congress to help draft the American Declaration of Independence. From 1776, Franklin was sent to France as the Commissioner representing the United States until 1785. During this period, he was very popular with all walks of life in France, and some wealthy French families even decorated galleries with his portrait. Franklin's trip to France was very successful, and he won the French-American military alliance, which is very important to the new United States, and negotiated and signed the Paris Treaty of 1783. When Franklin returned to the United States in 1785, his contribution to American independence was second only to that of Washington.

Franklin was also a pioneer in opposing slavery. Shortly after his return from France, he became the chairman of an organization that opposed slavery and sought to release blacks who were illegally imprisoned.

1787, retired Franklin attended the meeting to amend the US Constitution, becoming the only founder who signed the three most important American bills and documents at the same time. These three documents are: the Declaration of Independence, the Paris Treaty of 1783, and the American Constitution of 1787.

What few people know is that although Franklin was a famous father of the United States, before the American Revolution, he was mainly a diplomat and strongly opposed the revolution. Only when Britain could not maintain its rule in the American colonies did it become an enthusiastic supporter of the independence movement. Until 1780, he still thought that he was willing to allow Britain to maintain its sovereignty over America in exchange for a high degree of colonial autonomy.

Franklin died on April 1790 and was buried in the cemetery of a church in Philadelphia.

Franklin's appearance is familiar to many people all over the world: because he is the portrait on the highest denomination one hundred dollar bill. In the United States, the slang for hundred-dollar bills is also called Franklin. Franklin's portrait once appeared on half-dollar coins and old fifty dollars. From 19 14, he was the portrait on some hundred-dollar bills, and from 1928, his appearance was printed on every hundred-dollar bill.
