Benjamin Franklin is best known for his inventions, but he studied the natural world extensively and was among the first to understand that America's independence from Britain would require the intervention of a champion, a kingmaker in all but name. Franklin became a skilled rhetorician and in 1754 published an influential book called 'The Doctrine of Necessity' that argued that physical laws were as immutable as natural law. This helped inspire American colonists to separate themselves from Britain and plant seeds for their own revolution.

In 1757, the British parliament declared that a colony in North America called the Province of Quebec had successfully rebelled against the British crown. The following year, in 1758, France and Britain concluded a treaty that recognized the independence of Quebec's former subjects. This treaty was known as the Treaty of Paris. Unbeknownst to most people today, Lord Benjamin Franklin was one of the architects behind American independence. He was born in Boston on January 17th, 1706 to Deborah Read and Josiah Franklin Sr., who was a soap maker and a candle maker. As a boy Franklin entered into an apprenticeship with his father, where he learned how to make candles and soap.
