Ben Franklin was a pretty good guy, and I don't want to cause irreversible damage to his reputation or to his estate's representation.
But I didn't really think he was influential as, say, Confucius or Thomas Jefferson. I like that Ben Franklin patented a lot of inventions, and made everyday household items a thing.
But what do you think was his greatest achievement? I would say his rivalry with Thomas Edison, who also had very radical ideas, but both were responsible for the light bulb, records, tv sets, etc.
I did also like the movie 1776. I loved when William Daniels played in that movie.
But if you think Ben Franklin was a respected Founding Father, please let me know. I will always respect your opinion.
