Walter Isaacson: "Benjamin Franklin: An American Life"

[GreenmeGo]

Very informative

Benjamin Franklin is true legend.

Benjamin Franklin is my hero & doubtless one of the greatest humans to date. He had flaws as we all do but no one can discredit his tireless work bettering the world for all humanity! His brilliance, virtue, & sincerity are evident in his countless letters & papers, and also of those who knew him. It is especially a shame his work to abolish slavery is ignored. Americans need to ensure he remains an immortal, beloved source of hope and inspiration for our future.

[14heroes]

Ben Franklin is a true O.G.

This is the conclusion i came to while I am reading his autobiography.

[chessbruno]

teach and shut up with your left-wing politics- if i were in the audience I would call you on the carpet. Franklin said "fish and professors stink after 3 days."

[hoagiesupreme]

@chessbruno lol fish and visitors stink after three days* and he just reworded that phrase, he didnt make it up.

[stewartde]

@KarenLFranklin I'm doing a report and presentation on Mr. Franklin do you live in NEW ENGLAND.

[pharmalokd]

@KarenLFranklin are you being serious? if so that is intriguing.

@KarenLFranklin I was seeing your Channel and it said that the person that you would most want to meet its Jesus, so here's a quote for ya from your " ancestor" Benjamin Franklin.

"I have found Christian dogma unintelligible. Early in life I absented myself from Christian assemblies."

[claton95]

@KarenLFranklin for real?

Great lecture... great use of my 30 minutes... thanks, Penn State.

[EgolandTed]

Benjamin Franklin was a spy working for British Intelligence (Agent 72) and passed on information which resulted in heavy American shipping loses.

[NTBrown593]

I used this for an APUSH (AP United Sates History) project! Its awesome!!! thanks

[PatriotWalker76]

@NTBrown593 A better book is "The Real Benjamin Franklin". Don't use this book as an "educational" resource.

[chokin2]

@PatriotWalker76 Hi could you be more specific please? I'm deciding on which Franklin's book to buy. Thanx

[HackerLive0]
