 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.
