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 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 shared 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 America 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 later led the
American colonists into rebellion.
Whatever Benjamin Franklin’s personal feelings 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.
