In this Vook, inventive videos complement the text of The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin -- the traditional name for the unfinished record of his own life written by Franklin from 1771 to 1790. However, Franklin himself appears to have called the work his Memoirs. Although this biography took years to actually become published after Franklin's death, this work has become one of the most famous and influential examples of autobiography ever written.

Benjamin Franklin enlists the help of young people to record the happenings leading up to and during the Revolution for his newspaper the Pennsylvania Gazette. First, there is a James Hiller, a patriot who tends to act before he thinks and is, at times, too quick a judge in his search for American heroes. Next is Henri, a French orphan who's only quest is for food. Lastly, a young woman named Sarah Phillips joins the team; the daughter of an ex-English general with strong views opposing slavery. Together, they travel the colonies witnessing the sacrifices made for freedom.
Sarah Phillips (voiced by Reo Jones)
A bright-eyed girl from England, Sarah travels to the Thirteen Colonies in 1773 in search of her father, Major Phillips, who was last heard exploring the region of Ohio; upon her arrival, she is warmly welcomed by and lives as a guest of Benjamin Franklin. Her mother, Lady Phillips, remains in England and is a good friend to Dr. Franklin. However, with the possibility of a war between the American colonists and the English mother country, she decides that she will become a reporter for Franklin's newspaper in order to offer a more balanced perspective to the press. Sarah believes firmly in the power of words and equal rights for all, and is never afraid to speak her mind. At the start of the series, she is a firm loyalist, which sparks many arguments between her and James. Later in the series, Sarah has a change of heart and realizes how much she has come to understand the people of the colonies and ends up supporting the Revolution. Some men know the way to her heart - good manners; when this happens, James can seem almost jealous, although near the end of the series she appears to feel more than friendship for James. Throughout the series, Sarah and James grow closer. At the end of the series, her mother, Lady Phillips, joins Sarah and her father in the United States and Sarah hopes to explore more of her adopted country.
James Hiller (voiced by Chris Lundquist)
A young boy orphaned in childhood because of a lightning storm that burned his childhood home down with his parents inside. At age fourteen, James greatly admires Benjamin Franklin, whose invention of the lightning rod saved many from the same tragedy. Jealous, street-smart and impulsive, James pursues the revolution from a slightly one-sided perspective - something that prompts Sarah to counter his views. An apprentice in Franklin's Print Shop, James believes firmly in the American cause and will do almost anything to ensure that the people receive an honest view of what is happening. In the process, he also faces the less positive aspects of the political conflict that eventually forces his patriotic fervor into a new maturity. He highly values his friends, Sarah and Henri. He can be a little protective of Sarah while he attempts to keep Henri out of trouble, acting somewhat like an older brother figure to Henri. He is very laid back and is constantly reminded of his bad etiquette and poor table manners by Sarah, toward whom he shows feelings of what might be more than friendship.
Henri Richard Maurice Dutoit LeFevbre (voiced by Kathleen Barr)
An energetic boy from France, Henri's parents died on the voyage to America when a plague struck the ship and killed half of the people on board three weeks into the trip. The ship's captain exploited Henri afterwards because he had to pay off his family's debt to the captain. James and Moses smuggled Henri off the ship and the boy found a home in Benjamin Franklin's workshop. While he speaks French fluently, Dr. Franklin has insisted that Henri learn to speak, read, and write in both English and French. Henri's small size has proved more than useful to Sarah and James, though he has a tendency to land himself in all sorts of trouble while not fully understanding the dangers of the war.
Moses (voiced by D. Kevin Williams)
Born in Africa, Moses was brought in chains to America as a slave and sold on the block in Charleston, South Carolina. Because of his ingenuity, Moses learned to read, forge metal, and buy his freedom from his master, thus freeing himself from the slavery of the American south. To keep from being confused for a runaway slave, Moses is required to carry papers proving that he is a free man. He eventually moved to Philadelphia and found work at Dr. Franklin's Print Shop. His brother, Cato, had not been so fortunate but later escaped, joining the British troops as a soldier to earn his freedom. Cato appears again at the end of the series when he does not tell on an African American Patriot spy, James Armistead, whose spying was crucial to the American victory at Yorktown, which ends the war for American independence. He looks out for Dr. Franklin's young wards, especially Henri.

Hey Everybody! This is my first Youtube video. I hope you like it! :D
Biography Presentation
Hi! I am Benjamin Franklin. I was born in Boston, Massachusetts. My birthday is on January 17, 1706.
You might know me by my famous kite experiment, where went out on a very stormy Pennsylvania night to prove that lightning is indeed electricity. You can read all about it in one of my articles that I wrote. Oh did you know? I LOVE to write. Not only am I an author, but I own a newspaper and a printing shop, too! See! There’s lots to know about me.
I’ve done lots of things from signing the Declaration of Independence, to being the first librarian, to being the first postmaster to making all sorts of inventions. Let me tell you about some of them. When I was 11 years old, I made a pair of fins for my hands and feet, so I could swim faster. Inventing is great!
As an inventor, here are a few more things I’ve made. The Franklin Stove, which has special vents so there’s less smoke. The Glass Armonica, which is a musical instrument that even Beethoven and Mozart used in their music. Also bifocal glasses. Now these come in handy. A pair of glasses with two lenses. No need for two separate pairs of glasses anymore!
As you can see, I’ve accomplished much. Why it’s 2018, and I’m still famous. You can find me on the $100 bill.
Thank You.
BENJAMIN FRANKLIN IS AWESOME!
... And here's my biography report:
Benjamin Franklin
“A life of leisure and a life of laziness are two things. There will be sleeping enough in the grave.” is a quote by Benjamin Franklin, who saw that it was important to work hard to earn some time to spend usefully and not just sit around doing nothing. Benjamin Franklin did not just say and do anything lightly. He lived to be 84 years old and in that time he was busier than a bee.
Benjamin Franklin was born of January 17,1706 on Milk Street in Boston, Massachusetts. He was the fifteenth child out of seventeen. Growing up, Ben Franklin only attended school for two years, because his parents did not have enough money. He attended Boston Latin School, but he did not graduate, so from the age of ten he decided to learn by reading books. He read a lot of books. He really liked reading and writing. He worked with his dad from age ten to age twelve, and then he went to work as an apprentice at brother James’ print shop. There he learned the printing trade.
When Benjamin Franklin was seventeen years old he ran away to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He continued to work in print shops. At age twenty-one, Ben Franklin started a club. His club included artisans and tradesmen, and they would all sit in coffeehouses and talk about books and also how they could make their communities better. They wanted to bring their ideas together and make improvements to the city they lived in. this club was called “The Junto”. Junto meant “to join”. Benjamin Franklin bought his own print shop in 1728. Then the following year he became the publisher of a newspaper. The name of the newspaper was called “The Pennsylvania Gazette”. The newspaper allowed Benjamin Franklin to give his voice to the community and talk about his interests. At this time, Benjamin Franklin was very, very busy. Around the time Ben was 46 years old, in May 1752, he did the very famous kite experiment which he almost died doing. It was important work. And because of his lightning experiments, we understand how lightning rods make houses and buildings and people safer today.
In his later years, Benjamin Franklin took part in writing the Declaration of independence and after he signed that he also signed the Constitution. Both are documents which hold the values of the United States of America. And they still stand today! Benjamin Franklin had a hard time seeing when he was reading, so he invented the bifocals. The bifocals are glasses which have two lenses on them, one which can see up close and the other far away. These are good for reading, and he was very happy to make these glasses. He originally called the bifocals, the Double Spectacles.
There are many things Benjamin Franklin did in his life, and you can see how he was very busy and accomplished so much. This is just the tip of the iceberg of what he did. He held many jobs: a printer, a writer, a politician, an inventor, a scientist, a firefighter, a librarian, a postmaster, a newspaper owner and a bookstore owner. And even more than all these jobs, he also invented many things, such as, the Franklin Stove and the glass armonica. I hope you enjoyed reading about Ben Franklin and see him as a truly inspiring person, and I hope you are inspired to learn more about his amazing life and all of his achievements.

Benjamin Franklin Documentary - Success Story
- SUPPORT ME :)
Today we're going to take a closer look at the fifteenth child of seventeen children who only had two years of grammar school education and went on to become an entrepreneur and one of the Founding Fathers of the United States. This is the story of Benjamin Franklin and the top 3 lessons that you can learn from his success.
If a man empties his purse into his head, no man can take it away from him. An investment in knowledge always pays the best interest. - Benjamin Franklin
Benjamin Franklin (born January 17, 1706) did not come from a family of prominence. Instead, his family could only afford to send him to two years of grammar school and by the time he was 13, Franklin's father sent him off to apprentice at his older brother's print company. Here, Franklin helped to compose pamphlets, set up type, sell the paper on the streets and perform other printer-related duties. Franklin also began writing columns under the pseudonym 'Mrs. Silence Dogood', who he fabricated to be a middle-aged widow. Dogood was an immediate hit with her writings about the problems and social conditions of women, but when James found out it was actually his younger brother writing her column, he was furious. As a result of James' ensuing harassment and beatings, Franklin became a fugitive and ran away from his family at the age of 17.
Franklin tried his luck as a printer both in New York and New Jersey, but to no avail. He then moved to Philadelphia, where he did manage to find a job with a printer. But, Franklin was unsatisfied with his prospects there. After a brief stint at a printer's shop in London, England, Franklin returned to Philadelphia in 1726. Four years and much borrowed money later, he had finally set up his own printing house. He began to publish a newspaper called The Pennsylvania Gazette, in which he would regularly give himself space to comment on the most pressing social issues of the time. He cultivated an image of himself as an intellectual and a productive young man and his writings were the beginning of what would earn Franklin significant social respect.
In 1748, Franklin officially retired from the printing business, although he continued writing literature and satirical essays throughout the rest of his life. He began to take a more formal role in public life, becoming councilman, Justice of the Peace in Pennsylvania and elected member of the Assembly. Five years later, he was appointed Joint Deputy Postmaster-General of North America and several other posts. In perhaps his most well known feat, Franklin began working towards independence as part of the Committee of Five that drafted the Declaration of Independence. In 1787, after he had retired from public office, he attended a series of meetings that would result in the United States Constitution. He became the only Founding Father to sign all three of the country's major founding documents: The Declaration of Independence, The Treaty of Paris and the U.S. Constitution.

True Story
Benjamin Franklin had no real opinions on slavery until he went to England. His wife, Deborah, was not well educated and had problems even writing to him, but pressured him into visiting a grammar school for black children while he was stationed in London. After visiting the school, Franklin found, to his surprise, that black children were just as smart at white children. After coming to this realization, he changed his entire outlook on the way slavery was being conducted in the United States.
Unknown to most people in America, Franklin was one of the first American politicians to advocate the end of slavery in the United States. He had been socially active most of his life, even creating one of the first fire departments in Philadelphia. During the end of his life, he spent a lot of time speaking, writing and publicly admonishing other politicians that believed in slavery. He wanted to start schools for black children and offer them the same things white children had, but in the end, all of his talk would be disregarded. However, his beliefs would eventually lead Abraham Lincoln to the same realization.

Colonists in Boston rebel against taxation without representation by throwing a fortune in tea into the harbor (12/16/73). Moses, James and Henri travel to Boston in search of Sarah, who has arrived from England on a tea-laden ship.
Benjamin Franklin enlists the help of young people to record the happenings leading up to and during the Revolution for his newspaper the Pennsylvania Gazette. First, there is a James Hiller, a patriot who tends to act before he thinks and is, at times, too quick a judge in his search for American heroes. Next is Henri, a French orphan who's only quest is for food. Lastly, a young woman named Sarah Phillips joins the team; the daughter of an ex-English general with strong views opposing slavery. Together, they travel the colonies witnessing the sacrifices made for freedom.
Sarah Phillips (voiced by Reo Jones)
A bright-eyed girl from England, Sarah travels to the Thirteen Colonies in 1773 in search of her father, Major Phillips, who was last heard exploring the region of Ohio; upon her arrival, she is warmly welcomed by and lives as a guest of Benjamin Franklin. Her mother, Lady Phillips, remains in England and is a good friend to Dr. Franklin. However, with the possibility of a war between the American colonists and the English mother country, she decides that she will become a reporter for Franklin's newspaper in order to offer a more balanced perspective to the press. Sarah believes firmly in the power of words and equal rights for all, and is never afraid to speak her mind. At the start of the series, she is a firm loyalist, which sparks many arguments between her and James. Later in the series, Sarah has a change of heart and realizes how much she has come to understand the people of the colonies and ends up supporting the Revolution. Some men know the way to her heart - good manners; when this happens, James can seem almost jealous, although near the end of the series she appears to feel more than friendship for James. Throughout the series, Sarah and James grow closer. At the end of the series, her mother, Lady Phillips, joins Sarah and her father in the United States and Sarah hopes to explore more of her adopted country.
James Hiller (voiced by Chris Lundquist)
A young boy orphaned in childhood because of a lightning storm that burned his childhood home down with his parents inside. At age fourteen, James greatly admires Benjamin Franklin, whose invention of the lightning rod saved many from the same tragedy. Jealous, street-smart and impulsive, James pursues the revolution from a slightly one-sided perspective - something that prompts Sarah to counter his views. An apprentice in Franklin's Print Shop, James believes firmly in the American cause and will do almost anything to ensure that the people receive an honest view of what is happening. In the process, he also faces the less positive aspects of the political conflict that eventually forces his patriotic fervor into a new maturity. He highly values his friends, Sarah and Henri. He can be a little protective of Sarah while he attempts to keep Henri out of trouble, acting somewhat like an older brother figure to Henri. He is very laid back and is constantly reminded of his bad etiquette and poor table manners by Sarah, toward whom he shows feelings of what might be more than friendship.
Henri Richard Maurice Dutoit LeFevbre (voiced by Kathleen Barr)
An energetic boy from France, Henri's parents died on the voyage to America when a plague struck the ship and killed half of the people on board three weeks into the trip. The ship's captain exploited Henri afterwards because he had to pay off his family's debt to the captain. James and Moses smuggled Henri off the ship and the boy found a home in Benjamin Franklin's workshop. While he speaks French fluently, Dr. Franklin has insisted that Henri learn to speak, read, and write in both English and French. Henri's small size has proved more than useful to Sarah and James, though he has a tendency to land himself in all sorts of trouble while not fully understanding the dangers of the war.
Moses (voiced by D. Kevin Williams)
Born in Africa, Moses was brought in chains to America as a slave and sold on the block in Charleston, South Carolina. Because of his ingenuity, Moses learned to read, forge metal, and buy his freedom from his master, thus freeing himself from the slavery of the American south. To keep from being confused for a runaway slave, Moses is required to carry papers proving that he is a free man. He eventually moved to Philadelphia and found work at Dr. Franklin's Print Shop. His brother, Cato, had not been so fortunate but later escaped, joining the British troops as a soldier to earn his freedom.

Cato appears again at the end of the series when he does not tell on an African American Patriot spy, James Armistead, whose spying was crucial to the American victory at Yorktown, which ends the war for American independence. He looks out for Dr. Franklin's young wards, especially Henri.

Inside Independence Hall(Pennsylvania State House): The Assembly Room & Rising Sun Chair
In this clip, you will see The Assembly Room(first congress in the US) where the Declaration Of Independence took place.
It was in this room that the United States Constitution was signed. The guide pointed that the constitution was not perfect but it had the mechanism to evolve
and adapt to social changes. It has become an example for other nations to follow. Benjamin Franklin made his famous remark on the chair of George Washington:
I have often looked at that picture behind the president without being able to tell if it was a rising or setting sun.
Now at length I have the happiness to know that it is indeed a rising, not a setting sun.
Towards the end of the clip, you will the passage that Benjamin Franklin used to go from his house to government buildings.
