Benjamin Franklin

Twenty years.

The Albany Plan

Because even though he was not a president, he is considered one of the founding fathers of the United States.

There's no law requiring that the people shown on US bills or coins be former presidents. Alexander Hamilton was never president either and he's on the $10 bill. The practice of featuring presidents became common in the 1920s but before that time many individuals were featured - explorers, scientists, cabinet members, military leaders, even Martha Washington appeared on US paper money.

If you mean one of those coins from the penny machines at tourist traps, it isn't even worth a penny. The Franklin half-dollar is worth, well, a half-dollar, though people will often charge over twenty dollars for one.

A few key events in my mind are: # his being sent to work for his brother # his marriage # his kite and key experiment # his son Frankie's death # his daughter Sally's birth # his being blamed for the Boston Tea Party # the writing of the Declaration of Independence # his sailing to France to secure an alliance # his return home from France # his gall-stone problems # the signing of the Articles of Confederation

Franklin's experiment was merely to prove that lightning was electricity, not to prove that electricity existed. Hence, the name "Father of Electricity" is inaccurate. Electricity was known to exist at least a century before Benjamin Franklin conducted his kite experiment; various mechanisms for the manipulation, creation and storage of electricity had been invented, such as static electricity generators and Leyden jars.

he was not a governor.

actually he was a governor for pennyslvania from 1785-1787. so ignore that guy^__^

He was one of the founding fathers of the U.S. Constitution. "Special balloting conducted October 18, 1785 unanimously elected Franklin the sixth President of the Supreme Executive Council of Pennsylvania, replacing John Dickinson. The office of President of Pennsylvania was analogous to the modern position of Governor. It is not clear why Dickinson needed to be replaced with less than two weeks remaining before the regular election. Franklin held that office for slightly over three years, longer than any other, and served the Constitutional limit of three full terms. Shortly after his initial election he was reelected to a full term on October 29, 1785, and again in the fall of 1786 and on October 31, 1787. Officially, his term concluded on November 5, 1788, but there is some question regarding the de facto end of his term, suggesting that the aging Franklin may not have been actively involved in the day-to-day operation of the Council toward the end of his time in office." - Wikipedia

He was homeless for a while when he arrived in Philly.

he invented many things :)

Ben Franklin did not invent electricity. He discovered it, along with a wide number of other scientist that had discovered various properties of the phenomena. He started experimenting with electricity in 1746. His famous kite experiment was in 1752.

Benjamin made a 137 pistol not a 137 rifle. They did make a 317 rifle, is this what you are asking about?

The pistol model 137 was made between 1946-85 the rifle model 317 was made between 1940-1969

American 50 dollar bill I THINK just google it for a beter answer

Benjamin Franklin died in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania at the age of 84 on April 17, 1790. "...when the pain and difficulty of breathing entirely left him, and his family were flattering themselves with the hopes of his recovery, when an imposthume, which had formed itself in his lungs, suddenly burst, and discharged a quantity of matter, which he continued to throw up while he had power; but, as that failed, the organs of respiration became gradually oppressed; a calm, lethargic state succeeded; and on the 17th instant (April, 1790), about eleven o'clock at night, he quietly expired, closing a long and useful life of eighty-four years and three months."

Benjamin Franklin represented the colony of Pennsylvania. He was a key figure in the founding of the United States and played a crucial role in the American Revolution. As a delegate to the Second Continental Congress, Franklin was instrumental in drafting the Declaration of Independence and securing crucial support for the colonies' fight for independence.

This is a common US regular issue

If you want to buy just one it will probably cost you from 10 to 25 cents at a stamp store for a copy, mint or used.

If you want to order it by mail, you would have to pay postage and handling in addition.

Dealers get them as part of larger lots for almost nothing per stamp- 65% face and

1/4 cent if used. The money they would charge you for it is mostly for labor.

I think it is a nice stamp and I would certainly keep a nice copy for my collection. If you more than one, maybe you can trade it for another similar stamp .

He did not actually participate in the Tea Party, although he was accused by the British Parliament for imflaming opinions in Boston, when, in fact, Franklin had hoped for a peaceful resolution rather than war. This event made up his mind that war would be inevitable. After all, he was accused of committing treason by his own country.

the suset that franklin was talking about was the sunset that was coming next

The Bluebook of airguns says it is worth between $85 - $100. It was made between 1969-1992.

The rifle is a Benjamin. The name Franklin was added as a sales gimmick. Ben Franklin had nothing to do with it.

Today both Sheridan and Benjamin air guns are owned by Crosman air gun co

I believe Crosman may still have the owners manual available on there web page.

open the crosman home page and go to the bottom of the page and click on "Download manual/parts parts diagram"

He didn't. On June 11, 1776, John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, Robert R. Livingston, and Roger Sherman were were given the duty to draft it. The writing was done by Jefferson. The first draft was revised by Franklin, Adams, and Jefferson before it was sent to Congress, where it was again changed.

The 137 is part of the 130 series of pistols made between 1946 to 1985. The 130 was a BB gun, the 132 was a .22 caliber and 137 was a .177 caliber pellet pistol. In order to give you an estimate of value I need to know the current condition of the gun. Is it in working condition. Is it in Poor, Fair, Good, Very Good or Excellent condition?

Benjamin Franklin helped write the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution.

Where in the world did you ever get the impression that Benjamin Franklin was willing to "fight" for freedom from England? Franklin was an Anglophile who clearly loved England, France, and Continental ways. As far as revolution goes, it is clear that Dr. Franklin preferred American independence, but it is equally clear that he remained a "fence sitter" until the outcome of the dispute took a "colonial" turn.
