PREFACE. CHAPTER I. Parentage and Early Life. CHAPTER II. Developments of Character. CHAPTER III. Excursion to England. CHAPTER IV. Mental and Moral Conflicts. CHAPTER V. The Dawn of Prosperity. CHAPTER VI. Religious and Philosophic Views. CHAPTER VII. The Tradesman becomes a Philosopher. CHAPTER VIII. The Rising Storms of War. CHAPTER IX. Franklin's Mission to England. CHAPTER X. Franklin's Second Mission to England. CHAPTER XI. The Intolerance of King and Court. CHAPTER XII. The Bloodhounds of War Unleashed. CHAPTER XIII. Progress of the War, both of Diplomacy and the Sword. CHAPTER XIV. The Struggles of Diplomacy. CHAPTER XV. Life's Closing Scenes Next to George Washington, we must write, upon the Catalogue of American Patriots, the name of Benjamin Franklin. He had so many virtues that there is no need of exaggerating them; so few imperfections that they need not be concealed. The writer has endeavored to give a perfectly accurate view of his character, and of that great struggle, in which he took so conspicuous a part, which secured the Independence of the United States. Probably there can no where be found, within the same limits, so vivid a picture of Life in America, over two hundred years ago, as the career of Franklin presents. Benjamin Franklin, notwithstanding his imperfections, was one of the wisest and best of all the fallen children of Adam. From his dying hour to the present day his memory has been justly cherished with reverence and affection, throughout the civilized world. And there is no fear that this verdict will ever be reversed.

The Common Cause
Author: Robert G. Parkinson
Publisher: UNC Press Books
ISBN: 1469626926
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 769
Book Description
When the Revolutionary War began, the odds of a united, continental effort to resist the British seemed nearly impossible. Few on either side of the Atlantic expected thirteen colonies to stick together in a war against their cultural cousins. In this pathbreaking book, Robert Parkinson argues that to unify the patriot side, political and communications leaders linked British tyranny to colonial prejudices, stereotypes, and fears about insurrectionary slaves and violent Indians. Manipulating newspaper networks, Washington, Jefferson, Adams, Franklin, and their fellow agitators broadcast stories of British agents inciting African Americans and Indians to take up arms against the American rebellion. Using rhetoric like "domestic insurrectionists" and "merciless savages," the founding fathers rallied the people around a common enemy and made racial prejudice a cornerstone of the new Republic. In a fresh reading of the founding moment, Parkinson demonstrates the dual projection of the "common cause." Patriots through both an ideological appeal to popular rights and a wartime movement against a host of British-recruited slaves and Indians forged a racialized, exclusionary model of American citizenship.
