Thomas Paine met Benjamin Franklin in 1774. At that time, Paine had recently emigrated to America from England and sought Franklin's support for his ideas on independence and reform. Their meeting marked the beginning of Paine's influential role in the American Revolution, as Franklin recognized his potential and encouraged his writing.

Yes, Benedict Arnold and Benjamin Franklin did meet. Their interaction occurred in 1776 when Arnold was involved in military affairs during the American Revolutionary War, while Franklin was serving as a commissioner to France. Although they had differing views and allegiances, their meeting highlighted the tension and complexities of the Revolutionary period.
Yes on Long Island with John Adams and one other gentleman whose name escapes me.
In his book, "Common Sense," Thomas Paine's main argument is that the Colonists should be able to govern themselves. For example, few people leave a populated area to isolation where any problem can be solved within themselves. As society increases, laws and regulations are needed. When the population grows where it is impossible for all to meet in one place, then elections must take place and what, as Thomas Paine calls it, best balance for a government. Paine feels It was absurd for an island to rule a continent and that America was not a "British nation"; it was composed of influences and peoples from all of Europe. He also stated that if Britain was a mother country, that her brutality on her children would be considered horrendous. Paine concludes that the colonies are for Britain's interest and not care about the interest of the colonists.

It is one of the 39 clues: it says he did, witch is correct! This is one of the persons mentioned in Mozart's world: Benjamin Franklin (1706 - 1790) Actually Mozart did meet Ben Franklin in Paris, and was quite impressed by the Glass Harmonica which Dr. Franklin had invented. Mozart composed several pieces of music for it, including the Adagio for Glass Harmonica in C Major, K356.
