Answer: He was a hero

Explanation:  Franklin firmly endorsed the idea that Britain should relax its control over the American colonies and allow settlers a greater role in running their own businesses.

In 1774 he went to England to petition King George III (1738-1820) in favor of the colonists and the newly formed Continental Congress. The king and the House of Lords rejected the petition, and by the time Franklin returned to Philadelphia, the American Revolutionary War (1775-1783) had already begun.

After his election to the Second Continental Congress, Franklin organized the postal service, becoming its chief, and helped Thomas Jefferson write the Declaration of Independence, signed July 4, 1776. That same year, Franklin was chosen as ambassador. American in France and, while in office, managed to convince the French government to support the American cause with weapons and supplies.
