    I think Benjamin Franklin is such an important figure because he's had a slew of accomplishments. For instance,he signed the Declaration of Independance, he discovered electricity, he was famous for his writtings in the news paper. All throughout his life he has made plenty accomplishments. Thats why he was and still is an important figure.

  3. Benjamin Franklin is an important historical figure. I think he is because he invented so many things that impact our selves today. For example electricity! We use electricity frequently throughout the day. He also invented bifocals, which are very useful to people with poor eye sight.Without Benjamin Franklin, I wonder where we would be today.

    Benjamin Franklin has done many monumental things. All of which have effected the United states greatly. Some of things being inventing the lighting rod, which saved the colonies from many house fires due to lightning. Also, he can be held responsible for bifocals, and the Franklin stove. Ben additionally assisted in the Revolutionary War. Benjamin is an extraordinary person, and inventor, and I would be curious to know where we would be without his mind blowing achievements. :)

  8. I think Benjamin Franklin is such an important historical figure because h accomplished many things. Benjamin Franklin published Poor Richard's Almanac and bought a newspaper company. He also helped write the Declaration of Independence. I believe without Benjamin Franklin I would be standing here today as a Free American, separate from British Rule.

  9. Benjamin Franklin is a very important historical figure in America. This is not only because he signed the Constitution, Treaty of Paris and the Declaration of Independence, but because he was a very good inventer. He invented the Franklin Stove, bifocal glasses and most importantly, created electricity. Also, he was a very good writer, who published many interesting almanacs that still inspire people today. Additionally, he was the head of the post office and fire company in his town. Benjamin Franklin is one of the most important firebands there ever was, and I wonder where America would be without him.

  12. Benjamin Franklin is such an important figure, because of all of the great things he did to help our country. for intance, the lightning rod. if it wasn't for this, we might not have the computer and be able to write all these blog entries! he also helped write the Declaration of Independance, which if we didn't have this, we might stuck in an old basement, hiding from britain's soldiers.

  16. Benjamin Franklin is a historical figure because he did something good that we needed to have in life. If we didn't have life we wouldn't be able to see anything because it would be to dark but we could use the sun. Also, Benjamin wrote the Declaration of Independence and that was for freedom. without Benjamin we would be still under British control. As a result, I am happy that we have all of these important people in our live because they helped us live our lives.
