Benjamin Franklin is one of the founding fathers of America. He was an unofficial representative of America in the parliament until he was framed for the Boston tea party. Afterwards he became one of the most devoted patriots. He owned a newspaper called the Pennsylvania gazette in which he kept the public informed and enthusiastic about freedom. He was also an inventor. His electric rod saved many houses from becoming victims of lightning fires. He is on the 100th dollar bill because he was admired and followed.
