A check of nearly history of the American Revolution will give you a wealth of information about Benjamin Franklin, one of the most important people in the new nation's birth.
Franklin's life was so active and varied that it's almost impossible to sum up in a short wiki-answer. Among other things he was an inventor (the lightning rod, bifocal glasses, musical instruments, etc.), a writer and philosopher, a scientist (he named and charted the Gulf Stream), a civic leader (postmaster for the colonies, creator of the first municipal fire department, governor of Pennsylvania) and most of all, a statesman and diplomat. He promoted the colonies' cause in England, and on his return to America was involved with other leaders in the independence movement (although his efforts were limited because of health problems). Following independence and the failure of the Articles of Confederation he was one of the leaders of the Constitutional Convention that established the US as a republic.
