Benjamin Franklin one of our well known founding fathers who helped shaped many things that are still being used today. Benjamin Franklin did a lot of things in his life time he was a politician, inventor, scientist, freemason, and a diplomat. I learned that franklin started out working as a printer at a young age helping his brother. Ben had a son out of wedlock then he married his landlord daughter and they had two children one died of smallpox. Over the years Benjamin Franklin became an inventor who came up with the rocking chair, bifocals, Franklin stove, american penny , and many other things. We all know about Benjamin Franklin and the kite with the key to test electricity. He also served as first United States Ambassador to France. He came up with the treaty of paris in 1783 which ended the Revolutionary War. We all know about his ties to being one of the five to make the Declaration of Independence and one thing that surprised me was that Franklin was 81 at the time of signing of the declaration.
