At age 16, Franklin began to secretly send letters to his brother's newspaper, under the pseudonym "Silence Dogood." These letters soon had people throughout Boston wondering who was writing these intelligent letters.
The "Franklin stove" (not "Benjamin Franklin stove") was named after its inventor, Benjamin Franklin, who would never have thought of putting a statue of himself on it. The Franklin stove is actually a metal fireplace liner that allowed a fire in the fireplace to heat a room more efficiently. It contained a hollow "baffle", a wide, thin iron box near (but not at) the rear. The baffle was open at the bottom and contained two holes on the sides. Heat from the fire rose on both the back and front of the baffle, so that air entering at the bottom of the box was more quickly heated. Heated air rises, but instead of escaping out the top of the chimney to no purpose, in the Franklin stove, the heated air exited into the room through the holes in the baffle's sides.
its propaganda. beatty was taught that ben franklin was the founding father of firemen, he was the first to burn books. in real life, franklin did start the fire department but to put out fire.
the delegates in Albany knew that the colonists had to work together to defeat the french. Benjamin Franklin, the delegate from Pennsylvania, proposed the Albany plan of union. the plan was an attempt to create "one general government" for the 13 colonies. it called for a grand council made up of Representatives from each colony.
Franklin believed that government of the few was open to tyranny and corruption. In order to protect the rights of the colonists (Englishmen), Franklin accepted the system we know as representative democracy. He recognized the importance of protecting the individual's rights in the political process and the purpose of the state (government) to protect the natural rights (inalienable) of all citizens. He was tolerant of other views, political, social, and religious.

yes, there are many songs about him but most are for the purpose of teaching students the history of Benjamin through song. (also they are pretty cheesey, be warned...) just go on youtube and search "Benjamin Franklin song"
