Contents
Ben Franklin proved that lightening is static electricity by flying a kite. However, is such a thing really possible? Furthermore, it is said that Franklin secured the support of the King of France for war funds and weapons to fight against the great naval power, England, in order to establish the United States of America. How was such a thing possible?
Let’s learn how to survive in the modern world from Franklin’s life, a model for the American way.
