Benjamin Franklin; A Revolutionary Figure

Just one of the many founding fathers, Benjamin Franklin, was one of the most revolutionary figures in history.  He was not only an author and a publisher, but he was also a scientist, an inventor, as well as a diplomat.  He had very little formal education, but proved he was very knowledgeable to anyone who doubted him.  Franklin is famous for his roles in the American Revolution, which is when he served in the Second Continental Congress, and assisted in drafting the Declaration of Independence in 1776.  But that was not all!  He also took part in negotiating the Treaty of Paris in 1783 which in fact ended the Revolutionary War, which had begun in 1775.  However, his last and final act of public service took place  in 1787, when he stood as a delegate to the convention that composed the U.S. constitution.  Franklin played a big part in the American Revolution and the Revolutionary War, and I  can't help to think of how differently history may have been without Benjamin Franklins essential role in it all.  His role in history was immensely beneficial in many ways.
