He signed it, just like everyone else that has signatures on the declaration.
They just weren't all at the same time in the same place on July 4 like colloquial knowledge suggests.

Biggest attention whore in America history. Philosopher, inventor, newspaper editor, college president, postmaster governor, ambassador, governor, and womanizer

If ole Ben were alive today, we would have already colonized Mars, made alien contact, stole their technology, and Ben would've stole their women or whatever the equivalent of an alien woman is.

Checks out.

Not only are you becoming one of the worst posters on here, but your spelling is even more atrocious. You even edited and still fricked it up.

No im right.my fiancée is trying to say that the only reason that Ben Franklin was famous was because he had the kite experiment s*** going on and I'm trying to tell her that hey look you know yeah he want the president or anything but Ben Franklin help write the Declaration of Independence he's like a pretty f****** big deal


With this said I watch the John Adams mini-series on HBO and I'm pretty sure he never actually signed anything and besides besides being
an ambassador to France don't remember him actually being in any official capacity as far as the Continental Congress

Why did you edit to this gibberish?

Ben Franklin shakes his head at you.

He was part of the committee of 5, assigned by the second continental congress, who drafted it

He was also part of the delegation from Pennsylvania



Find John Hancock... move one row to the right... 3rd name from top

Benj. Franklin... had some nice swoops underneath

He was. I mean, he was also an ambassador to France, but that was as the war was going on to gain financial support. If anything, he might have still been in London, but I looked it up and he came back in like 1775.

Same as Adams. He was obviously part of the CC, but was sent to get money from the Dutch during the revolution.

Franklin with the key quote at the signing ceremony:

"Yes, we must, indeed, all hang together, or most assuredly we shall all hang separately."

In handwriting analysis these are indicative of attention horing.

Pics of your fiancee, because if she's that dumb, she's gotta be hot as shite!

Franklin was a genius and for his time, what we would call a badass these days.

He was definitely the first major American Electrical Scientist. He also had a big publishing business.

Look at how many of them have swoops under their name

They are so ornate yet so precise you can tell they did these loops every time the signed. It WAS a part of their signature.

I wish we still did these. They look awesome.
