Benjamin Franklin

Well, he did in his free time life, he read, wrote, invented things and became famous for it!

Buying bread

Benjamin air guns are no longer in business. Crosman airguns bought them out in 1992 and continued to make Benjamin rifles and pistol under the old Banjamin name. The model 132 was made between 1946-85 in both .177 and .22 caliber. If you want to get an estimate of value then please describe the condition of the pistol. Is it still working?. Is it in Poor, Fair, Good, Vary Good or Excellent (like new) condition?

Re-post your question with this information and I will give you an estimate of value.

MY GUN IS IN WHAT I WOULD WOULD SAY ALMOST PERFECT CONDITION I HAVE NOT FIRED IT BEFORE AND I NEED TO KNOW WHAT IS THE ESTIMATE ON THE PRICE

The 132 in "Excellent" condition, no dings, scratches, wear, or missing paint is worth between $80 to $100'

Today "Crosman air gun company" owns the Benjamin line of airguns and rifles.

Animals -like horses,oxen, men, women,and mules to do the work required. Or windmills and waterfall wheels to turn machines. There were candles and oil lamps for lighting.

Power was manually generated by men and women; they also made use of animal power of horses, camels, donkeys and elephants. Wood and coal were also used to generate power. Machines were operated by the power provided by windmills, waterfall machines, and even by crude production of solar energy.

It was made in 1980....

he argued that tthe british goverment had no right to tax the colonist because they had no rerspresnitive in parlement

Although Benjamin Franklin's mind remained active, his body was deteriorating. He was in constant pain because of gout and having a stone in his bladder, and he could barely walk. He would enter the convention hall in a sedan chair carried by four prisoners from the Walnut Street jail in Philadelphia.

he got shot

No.

Benjamin Franklin had very bad vision and could not read very well so he needed something so that he could see better that why he made bifocals

Benjamin Franklin was born in Boston on January 17, 1706. He was the tenth son of a poor soap maker, Josiah Franklin. Benjamin's mother was Abiah Folger, the second wife of Josiah. In all, Josiah would father 17 children. Josiah could only afford to send his son to school for one year and clergymen needed years of schooling. As young Benjamin loved to read he had him apprenticed to his brother James, who was a printer. Ben decided to run away in 1723. Ben could not go to college because he was on his own.

While he did many things, no human can do anything. He was never an astronaut or head of China. Of the things that would be more realistic, he was never president and never got over his first son Frankie's death.

Benjamin Franklin became interested in science as a child. He was bored in school and spent his time doing science experiments on his own, which allowed him to develop an interest in science.

"Fish and visitors both stink in three days." "Early to bed, early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise."

Franklin did a lot. He invented things, wrote books, started a fire department, the first post,office in Philadelphia, signed and helped edit the Declaration of Independence, negotiation with France for troops and funds,for the revolution, helped write the constitution and signed it.

In battle, no. Ben Franklin was not in the Army. He was a founding father though and a hero to the patriots. He did try to be a mediator between the colonist and the British until the British turned on him and then he helped the other founding fathers form a diplomatic congress and help create our declaration of Independence and the articles of confederation. George Washington lead the patriots into battle as the commander in chief of the continental Army.

What he meant was the only true way to keep something secret is to trust it to only yourself. Just as the three shared trust enough for the secret, they also individually have those they trust to whom they may reveal the secret. It will no longer be a secret if it spread outside of the original three.

True that the historical evidence does say that he proposed an experiment, but no evidence says that he actually DID do the experiment.

I think the only things that they are alike in is that they were founding members of the United States, but other than that nothing. Washington was rather stogy and formal and very seldom laughed. While Franklin was the life of the party and loved to flirt and drink. I think Ben Franklin would have been fun to be around, but not Washington. Washington thought his hands were too big so never shook hands with people and he was always aware that he stood out compared to others. He was a big man over 6 foot with red hair while Ben Franklin was a short balding man. I am not sure that the two got along, but I don't think many people got along well with Washington like they did with Franklin.

He was born a slave in Maryland, around 1830 but became an inventor. He learned to read and write from his master child when it was against the law to teach a slave to read and write. When he was a teen, he made a steam machine out of scrap metals.

Benjamin Franklin was one of many delegates whose job was to think of ideas that should be implemented into the Constitution. He had many ideas like a single chambered legislature and an executive board rather than a president, but both ideas were never used. He was great at dissolving disputes and organizing compromise. Benjamin Franklin was 81 by the time of the Convention and fell asleep a lot, but his guidance was present nevertheless. Though he was not nearly as active in creating this new form of government as someone like James Madison, all of the delegates respected him, so as the person above said, he was great at settling disputes. In addition, most of Europe, especially Great Britain and France, knew of and respected Benjamin Franklin, thus giving the Convention validity to the rest of the world.

no i don't even think the drug tobacco was discovered yet.

this is a ridiculous answer - the native Americans were using tobacco as early as 400 AD, which was demonstrated by a carving of a Mayan priest smoking that dated around that time. The Native Americans tried to give Columbus tobacco in the 1490's. Tobacco was around long before Ben Franklin, in fact it was one of this countries largest exports before and after the revolution. I do not know if he smoked, but he almost definitely grew tobacco.

Actually, while it is well-known that most of the 'founding fathers' did grow tobacco (as in George Washington, James Madison and Thomas Jefferson), there is no evidence that Ben ever smoked nor grew tobacco.

Nothing
