Benjamin Franklin was many things- he was a diplomat, philosopher, inventor, ladies' man and the subject of countless books. He was the one who helped secure the alliance with France which was crucial to the success of the revolution. After independence, he served as the first Postmaster General, or head of the national post office, which was too minor and irrelevant for someone of his caliber. If you want more info, just look him up online.
