    Benjamin Franklin was born on Milk Street, in Boston, Massachusetts, on January 17, 1706[1] and baptized at Old South Meeting House. He was the son of Josiah Franklin, a tallow chandler and soap- and candle-maker, and his second wife, Abiah Folger. Josiah had 17 children; Benjamin was the fifteenth child and youngest son.

    Franklin is credited as being foundational to the roots of American values and character, a marriage of the practical and democratic Puritan values of thrift, hard work, education, community spirit, self-governing institutions, and opposition to authoritarianism both political and religious, with the scientific and tolerant values of the Enlightenment.

  • By the time the Declaration of Independence was adopted in July 1776, the Thirteen Colonies and Great Britain had been at war for more than a year. Relations between the colonies and the mother country had been deteriorating since the end of the Seven Years' War in 1763. The war had plunged the British government deep into debt, and so Parliament enacted a series of measures to increase tax revenue from the colonies. Parliament believed that these acts, such as the Stamp Act of 1765 and the Townshend Acts of 1767, were a legitimate means of having the colonies pay their fair share of the costs to keep the colonies in the British Empire.[6]

  • At that time, the colonists were divided on whether to fight the French and their Indian allies for control of the land west of the Appalachian Mountains, in what came to be known as the French and Indian War. It became a symbol for the need of organized action against an outside threat posed by the French and Indians in the mid 18th century.

  • The Albany Congress, also known as the Albany Conference, was a meeting of representatives of seven of the British North American colonies in 1754 (specifically, Connecticut, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York, Pennsylvania, and Rhode Island). Representatives met daily at Albany, New York from June 19 to July 11 to discuss better relations with the Indian tribes and common defensive measures against the French. The Congress is notable for producing Benjamin Franklin's Albany Plan of Union, an early attempt to form a union of the colonies that would remain under the authority of the British crown. Part of the Albany Plan was used in writing the Articles of Confederation, which kept the States together from 1781 until the Constitution. It was the first time that all the colonies had been together.

    After John Adams' defeat in his presidential re-election campaign, the family retired to Quincy in 1800. Abigail followed her son's political career earnestly, as her letters to her contemporaries show. In later years, she renewed correspondence with Thomas Jefferson, whose political opposition to her husband had hurt her deeply.

    Abigail and John's marriage relationship is well documented through their correspondence and other writings. Letters exchanged throughout John's political obligations indicate that his trust in Abigail's knowledge was sincere

    Along with her husband, Adams believed that slavery was not only evil, but a threat to the American democratic experiment. A letter written by her on March 31, 1776, explained that she doubted most of the Virginians had such "passion for Liberty" as they claimed they did, since they "deprive[d] their fellow Creatures" of freedom

      Short tem definition for the word "militia"-Men who were recruited by the army. They were not payed for their actions. These men would fight with the regulars in the war.

      Militia had less power but regulars had more. For example, if say a militia that was a lieutenant was in charge of building a fort. Regulars come in to help and leading would be a captain. although that is a lower rank. Regulars have more power and experience then militia.

    Yeah George Washington was part of the Virginia Militia. He then wanted to become one of those "redcoats" or British Regulars. Remember he wanted to become a farmer. Then he had a change of heart and went back to his ol' General and commanding self.

  • Francis Marion (c. 1732 – February 26, 1795) was a military officer who served in the American Revolutionary War. Acting with Continental Army and South Carolina militia commissions, he was a persistent adversary of the British in their occupation of South Carolina in 1780 and 1781, even after the Continental Army was driven out of the state in the Battle of Camden.

      He was in the militia in South Carolina. He joined when the Dragoons burned his house. When he went looking for men to join his militia he went to find his friends that had helped him in the French and Indian war. Most of them agreed to join.
  • Marion began his military career shortly before his 25th birthday. On January 1, 1757, Francis and his brother Job were recruited by Cap. John Postell for the French and Indian War to drive the Cherokee away from the border. In 1761 Marion served as a lieutenant under Cap. William Moultrie in a campaign against the Cherokee.

      He went one way while his son went another. He was trying to find his friends from the French and Indian war. His son went from town to town. Some of his friends were beggars and thieves while others were just farmers like himself.

    Francis Marion lost his two sons. Benjamin Martin was supposed to Francis Marion.
  • Matthew Dumbrique on 22 Apr 10
     
    Francis Marion was very violent. He has been in the French and Indian War. He killed many French men. The French officer who helped him in the Battle of the south didn't like what Marion has done. But his French attitude hasn't changed his heart for a new free country, the United States of America.
