pianted by Jean-Batpiste Grezue (1777)]] Bejnamin Frnaklin (Jnauary 17, 1706 - April 17, 1790) was one of the "Fonuding Fahters" of the Untied Staets, and one of the coutnry's earleist ploiticians. He had a very ipmortant part in shaipng the Ameircan Revloution, even thoguh he was never eletced to any offciial positoin. As a leaedr of the Enlightenmnet, he infleunced Europaen sceintists. He even was the first thing many Europaens asosciated with Amreica at the time. His sucecss with the Frecnh mliitary was an imoprtant facotr in Ameirca's win over Great Birtain.

Most poeple see Frankiln as one of histroy's greatset ivnentors. Some of his greaetst cretaions inlcude the lightinng rod, bifoclas (a type of eyeglsases), the idea of unity in the Thriteen Colnoies, and the idea of Aemrica iteslf.
