1979年，创始人Guy Azoulay以50年代美国空军服为设计灵感，以驾驶四引擎的空军机师Charles Chevignon的名字为品牌名称创立了Chevignon.Chevignon以战后50年代“美国梦想”为背景，以美国重建的传奇故事为依归。在当时美国物资缺乏的情况下，西部寻金热盛行，在大量涌现的市集上有各种不同的店铺给人们寄卖物品。Guy Azoulay于是引入Trading Post的概念——以物换物，并将此概念建立了第一间店铺，里面有各种时尚生活用品，甚至包括象防护头盔这样的非主流潮流物，感觉好象是一个真正的美国艺术装置博物馆。 近30年来，Chevignon带着其倡导的独特自由生活方式，以及法国人演绎的美国风格，从法国Etienne Marcel Street的第一家旗舰店越洋过海到纽约、东京和香港开设形象店，如今再到中国大陆全速发展，Chevignon的服装、配饰乃至品牌的Logo渐渐深入人心，成为年轻个性一族追逐的多元化生活时尚品牌。 Chevignon与生俱来的自由浪漫气息，通过品牌标志传达了高贵与优雅的现代融合。高贵的灰色混合着宇宙蓝的Logo，预示在宽广大气的时尚空间中存在的永恒现代个性价值。作为血统纯正的法国品牌，在其产品开发中致力捕捉个性细节，张扬不羁的年轻风采。不论是牛仔裤的剪裁、撞钉或车线，还是创立品牌时的标志性代表——皮衣，在满足怀旧复古又时尚前卫的风格需求时，还透露出Chevignon对完美细节的执着追求，和将审美与实用结合的周全意识。求采纳

《Benjamin Franklin》（Franklin, Benjamin）电子书网盘下载免费在线阅读链接: https://pan.baidu.com/s/18a8Y5i0on-UEs0uAXoaz4A 提取码: kzbc书名：Benjamin Franklin作者：Franklin, Benjamin出版年份：2011-1页数：230内容简介：Printer and publisher, author and educator, scientist and inventor, statesman and philanthropist, Benjamin Franklin was the very embodiment of the American type of self-made man. In 1771, at the age of 65, he sat down to write his autobiography, "having emerged from the poverty and obscurity in which I was born and bred to a state of affluence and some degree of reputation in the world, and having gone so far through life with a considerable share of felicity." The result is a classic of American literature. On the eve of the tercentenary of Franklin"s birth, the university he founded has selected the Autobiography for the Penn Reading Project. Each year, for the past fifteen years, the University of Pennsylvania has chosen a single work that the entire incoming class, and a large segment of the faculty and staff, read and discuss together. For this occasion the University of Pennsylvania Press will publish a special edition of Franklin"s Autobiography, including a new preface by University president Amy Gutmann and an introduction by distinguished scholar Peter Conn. The volume will also include four short essays by noted Penn professors as well as a chronology of Franklin"s life and the text of Franklin"s Proposals Relating to the Education of Youth in Pennsylvania, a document resulting in the establishment of an institution of higher education that ultimately became the University of Pennsylvania. No area of human endeavor escaped Franklin"s keen attentions. His ideas and values, as Amy Gutmann notes in her remarks, have shaped the modern University of Pennsylvania profoundly, "more profoundly than have the founders of any other major university of college in the United States." Franklin believed that he had been born too soon. Readers will recognize that his spirit lives on at Penn today. Essay contributors: Richard R. Beeman, Paul Guyer, Michael Weisberg, and Michael Zuckerman.

Almost everyone has heard of Franklin"s famous experiment, but few of us actually understand how the experiment worked. When a storm cloud passed over Franklin"s kite the negative charges in the cloud leaked onto his kite, his kite string, his key, and a Leyden jar attached to the key by a thin metal wire. Franklin however, was unaffected by the negative charges because he was holding a dry silk string which insulated him from the charges on the key. When Franklin reached out his knuckle to touch the key he received a shock, because the negative charges in the key were so strongly attracted to the positive charges in his body that a spark jumped from the key to his hand. Franklin"s experiment successfully showed that lightning was actually static electricity. 本杰明富兰克林的风筝实验已成为美国的一个传奇。几乎每个人都有听说过富兰克林著名的实验，但很少有人了解实验是如何工作的。当风暴云掠过富兰克林的风筝时，云中的负电荷转移到他的风筝上，他的风筝的线，他的钥匙，还有一个莱顿瓶通过一个细金属丝连接到钥匙上。然而富兰克林没有受到负电荷的影响因为他握着一根干燥的丝线，这根丝线让他与钥匙保持绝缘。当富兰克林用指头的关节触碰钥匙时，他被了电一下，因为在钥匙上的负电荷很强，受到他的身上的正电荷的吸引，由此产生了火花。

简述：Almost everyone has heard of Franklin"s famous experiment,but few of us actually understand how the experiment worked.On a stormy day,Benjamin Franklin went outside with a kite in his hand.When ...

Franklin"s KiteProbably the most famous experiment to do with lightning is that of Benjamin Franklin and his famous kite.What Franklin was investigating was whether or not lightning was an electric phenomenon. This seems fairly obvious to most of us today, but we must remember that in Franklin"s day the largest sparks they could make were under an inch long! Since lightning is several miles long it is not so obvious that they can be the same.The question often arises whether or not Franklin actually did this experiment, and the answer is we do not know for sure. One thing, however, is certain: if he did do an experiment like this, he did not do it the way it is often shown. That is, he didn"t tie a key to the kite string, fly it in a thunderstorm, and wait for it to be struck by lightning! Such an experiment would be very dramatic--and quite fatal.There are safe ways to do similar things, however, and Franklin, in his various writtings, shows that he was quite aware of both the dangers and the alternatives.Franklin realized that if lightning was electricity, then it must be an awful lot of the stuff, and that it must take a long time to amass in the storm. Therefore, he suggested, fly the kite early in the storm before the lightning comes near you.He had several variations on how to show electricity was present--you could draw sparks from a key tied to the string, or you could attach the string to a Leyden Jar, which is a device for collecting electricity (a capacitor). If the jar was empty before flying the kite and full afterwards then that is good evidence that thunderclouds contain electricity. In our demonstration the kite is suspended from a plastic rod (since there is no wind). The string goes down into a jar (not a Leyden Jar) where it is attached to a key. Below the key is a gap of 1-2 inches before a grounded metal ball.Notice in the picture on the left (which was taken with the machine running, but not strongly enough to make sparks) that the kite"s tail is being pulled towards the dome of the machine. This is a big example of static cling--the same thing that sticks your clothes together in a clothes drier. Notice also that there is a spark jumping between the key and the ball inside the jar. There is one other effect that we demonstrate using our kite, but it is too faint to photograph easily. It is called Saint Elmo"s Fire, or, to scientists, corona. It shows up as a faint purple glow around the edges of the kite, and would have been seen in the rigging and masts by sailors on the old wooden sailing ships.To the sailors, who named it after their patron saint, it was a sign of protection, but you can see in this picture how little it protects the kite! In fact it is a sign of great danger. So how did the sailors get it wrong?The reason is probably that all sailors in thunderstorms saw coronas, but only those whose ships were not struck and destroyed made it back to tell anyone about it!

没听说过有

他们是欢欢乐乐的好朋友。更是易燃装置的战友和队友。如果要下一个定义，我觉得是夏日限定的战友。（我觉得他们感情很深是真，但是在脱离了比赛环境回归日常生活后，还能不能常常联系真的要看有没有契机，即使没有，放在心里我也觉得很珍贵啦。）他们播出来的都是打打闹闹，我们就容易想象他们是不是在一起都是一直玩很开心，但其实我们看到的是开心的部分，私下更多的是辛苦吧。余衍林长得好，行为很讨人喜欢，很容易让别人产生好感，也没什么黑料，从平常的直播来看，他是真实诚，把粉丝当作同行者，很多初步的人生规划也给粉丝说了。勇敢坚强。这两个词很官方，但是形容余衍林很合适。在应该吃喝玩乐的年纪他就自己出来打拼，当模特，一个人飞来飞去拍照。我第一次一个人坐飞机还挺紧张的。从2017年到现在他在抖音整整5年了，他的成长大家都是有目共睹的，从青涩的小男孩变成了阳光帅气的大男孩。

美国历史上一位伟大的富兰克林，本杰明·富兰克林（Benjamin Franklin）(1706-1790)——资本主义精神最完美的代表，十八世纪美国最伟大的科学家和发明家，著名的政治家、外交家、哲学家、文学家和航海家以及美国独立战争的伟大领袖。他一生最真实的写照是他自己所说过的一句话“诚实和勤勉，应该成为你永久的伴侣。”传说他曾经用风筝引下雷电，并储存起来，关于这个“天电”实验一直存在质疑，富兰克林本人也从未正式承认做过这个实验，尽管对富兰克林是否做过风筝实验存在争议，但他是在1750年第一个提出用实验来证明天空中的闪电就是电的科学家。后来他发明了避雷针。

Franklin P. Jones (1908 - 1980) was a Philadelphia reporter, public relations executive and humorist. He wrote quips and quotes that entertained readers of major publications for years. Mr. Jones was known nationally during the 1940s and 50s for his column "Put it this Way" in the Saturday Evening Post. "Put it this Way" set a record as the longest continuously published feature in the Saturday Evening Post. He was an accomplished "paragrapher" - a writer who condenses humorous or thought provoking ideas into paragraph form. His quips and quotes were published (often anonymously) in numerous publications, including Reader"s Digest, the Wall Street Journal, Changing Times and Quote magazine. Born in Saratoga, NY, he moved to Philadelphia, PA at an early age. He graduated from Haverford College in 1933 with a Bachelor of Science degree. He began his writing career at the Philadelphia Record in 1934 as a police reporter and rose through the ranks working as a general assignment reporter, rewrite man and features writer. He was on the editorial board when the paper ceased publication in 1946. From 1941 through 1946, he was also a Philadelphia correspondent for the now defunct New York newspaper PM. In 1947, he joined Gray and Rogers Advertising Agency, one of Philadelphia"s largest advertising and public relations firms as director of publicity and became a partner in 1954. He created ad programs for major clients and headed the 40-man public relations staff until he sold his interest in the firm and retired in 1960 to work full-time as a humor writer. Mr. Jones continued his freelance writing, producing more than 35,000 paragraphs, epigrams, anecdotes, gag lines and definitions in the years before his death. He was a member of The Committee of 70, Philadelphia Public Relations Association and the Pen and Pencil Club. Franklin P. Jones died December 29th, 1980 of cancer in his home in Wayne, PA. He was 72. Some additional quotes: "The only thing that will really prevent baldness is hair." "The best way to keep a man is in doubt." "The only problem with having nothing to do is you can"t stop and rest."

Franklin D.Roosevelt Assuming the Presidency at the depth of the Great Depression,Franklin D.Roosevelt helped the American people regain faith in themselves.He brought hope as he promised prompt,vigorous action,and asserted in his Inaugural Address,"the only thing we have to fear is fear itself." Born in 1882 at Hyde Park,New York--now a national historic site--he attended Harvard University and Columbia Law School.On St.Patrick"s Day,1905,he married Eleanor Roosevelt. Following the example of his fifth cousin,President Theodore Roosevelt,whom he greatly admired,Franklin D.Roosevelt entered public service through politics,but as a Democrat.He won election to the New York Senate in 1910.President Wilson appointed him Assistant Secretary of the Navy,and he was the Democratic nominee for Vice President in 1920. In the summer of 1921,when he was 39,disaster hit-he was stricken with poliomyelitis.Demonstrating indomitable courage,he fought to regain the use of his legs,particularly through swimming.At the 1924 Democratic Convention he dramatically appeared on crutches to nominate Alfred E.Smith as "the Happy Warrior." In 1928 Roosevelt became Governor of New York. He was elected President in November 1932,to the first of four terms.By March there were 13,000,000 unemployed,and almost every bank was closed.In his first "hundred days," he proposed,and Congress enacted,a sweeping program to bring recovery to business and agriculture,relief to the unemployed and to those in danger of losing farms and homes,and reform,especially through the establishment of the Tennessee Valley Authority. By 1935 the Nation had achieved some measure of recovery,but businessmen and bankers were turning more and more against Roosevelt"s New Deal program.They feared his experiments,were appalled because he had taken the Nation off the gold standard and allowed deficits in the budget,and disliked the concessions to labor.Roosevelt responded with a new program of reform:Social Security,heavier taxes on the wealthy,new controls over banks and public utilities,and an enormous work relief program for the unemployed. In 1936 he was re-elected by a top-heavy margin.Feeling he was armed with a popular mandate,he sought legislation to enlarge the Supreme Court,which had been invalidating key New Deal measures.Roosevelt lost the Supreme Court battle,but a revolution in constitutional law took place.Thereafter the Government could legally regulate the economy. Roosevelt had pledged the United States to the "good neighbor" policy,transforming the Monroe Doctrine from a unilateral American manifesto into arrangements for mutual action against aggressors.He also sought through neutrality legislation to keep the United States out of the war in Europe,yet at the same time to strengthen nations threatened or attacked.When France fell and England came under siege in 1940,he began to send Great Britain all possible aid short of actual military involvement. When the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor on December 7,1941,Roosevelt directed organization of the Nation"s manpower and resources for global war. Feeling that the future peace of the world would depend upon relations between the United States and Russia,he devoted much thought to the planning of a United Nations,in which,he hoped,international difficulties could be settled. As the war drew to a close,Roosevelt"s health deteriorated,and on April 12,1945,while at Warm Springs,Georgia,he died of a cerebral hemorrhage.

放他走了。。。

Benjamin Franklin (January 17, 1706 [O.S. January 6, 1705] – April 17, 1790) was one of the Founding Fathers of the United States of America. A noted polymath, Franklin was a leading author and printer, satirist, political theorist, politician, scientist, inventor, civic activist, statesman, and diplomat. As a scientist, he was a major figure in the Enlightenment and the history of physics for his discoveries and theories regarding electricity. He invented the lightning rod, bifocals, the Franklin stove, a carriage odometer, and a musical instrument. He formed both the first public lending library in America and first fire department in Pennsylvania. He was an early proponent of colonial unity and as a political writer and activist he, more than anyone, invented the idea of an American nation[1] and as a diplomat during the American Revolution, he secured the French alliance that helped to make independence possible.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. In the words of Henry Steele Commager, "In Franklin could be merged the virtues of Puritanism without its defects, the illumination of the Enlightenment without its heat."[2] To Walter Isaacson, this makes Franklin, "the most accomplished American of his age and the most influential in inventing the type of society America would become."[3]Franklin became a newspaper editor, printer, and merchant in Philadelphia, becoming very wealthy, writing and publishing Poor Richard"s Almanack and the Pennsylvania Gazette. Franklin was interested in science and technology, and gained international renown for his famous experiments. He played a major role in establishing the University of Pennsylvania and Franklin & Marshall College and was elected the first president of the American Philosophical Society. Franklin became a national hero in America when he spearheaded the effort to have Parliament repeal the unpopular Stamp Act. An accomplished diplomat, he was widely admired among the French as American minister to Paris and was a major figure in the development of positive Franco-American relations. From 1775 to 1776, Franklin was Postmaster General under the Continental Congress and from 1785 to 1788 was President of the Supreme Executive Council of Pennsylvania. Toward the end of his life, he became one of the most prominent abolitionists.Franklin"s colorful life and legacy of scientific and political achievement, and status as one of America"s most influential Founding Fathers, has seen Franklin honored on coinage and money; warships; the names of many towns, counties, educational institutions, namesakes, and companies; and more than two centuries after his death, countless cultural references.

富兰克林（1706～1790）Franklin，Benjamin 美国物理学家，发明家，政治家，社会活动家。1706年1月17日生于波士顿，1790年4月17日卒于费城。父母都是英国移民，以制造蜡烛和肥皂为业。他于12岁到印刷所里当学徒，从那时起，长期未脱离印刷工作。1727年富兰克林组织一个社团，这是1743年创立的美利坚哲学会的前身。1731年他在费城创办了北美第一个公共图书馆。1737～1753年任费城邮政局长。约在1744年开始从事电学的研究。1751年创办了费城学院（后来的宾夕法尼亚大学）。1753年，获科普利奖章。同年，他还 获得 哈佛 大学、耶鲁大学 的荣誉学位 。 1756年当选为英国皇家学会会员，1769年当选为美利坚哲学会会长。1772年他还当选为法兰西科学院的外国院士。 他是美利坚合众国的创始人之一。在美国独立战争中他积极参加反英斗争。当选为第二届大陆会议代表，并参加起草了《独立宣言》。1776～1785年出使法国，促成了美、法同盟的建立。1787年当选为制宪会议的代表，参加起草了美国宪法。他积极主张废除奴隶制度。 富兰克林是第一个在纯科学领域中享有国际声誉的美国科学家，是美国电学研究的先驱者。他对电学的研究结果统一了当时混乱的电学知识。他最主要的贡献就是对说明各种电现象的理论（如电荷的产生、电荷的移转、静电感应等）作了比较系统的阐述。最初，他热衷于发明设计小器件，这给他以后的电学实验研究打下坚实的基础。1745年起他在不到10年的时间内，利用一些简单的工具、器械进行了各种大胆的新的电学实验。通过实验，富兰克林首先提出电学史上一项重要的假说：电的单流质理论。富兰克林第一次用数学上的正负概念来表示两种电荷的性质；同时还发现了尖端放电现象。更重要的是，富兰克林提出了电的转移理论。以后，这个理论发展为电荷守恒定律，这是自然界最基本的定律之一。1747年，富兰克林对莱顿瓶进行了研究，阐明了电容器的原理。在1749～1751年间，富兰克林仔细观察和研究了雷、闪电和云的形成，提出了云中的闪电和富兰克林的风筝实验摩擦所产生的电性质相同的推测。1750年提出了关于避雷针的建议。这一建议首先于1852年在法国马利大学得到应用 。1752年他在费城进行了震动世界的电风筝实验，证明了他的“闪电和静电的同一性”设想。富兰克林还研究了带电体之间的相互吸引和排斥；不规则带电导体中的电荷分布；感应起电现象等。富兰克林创造了许多电学方面的专门名词。富兰克林相当广泛地研究和观察自然现象。他还阐述了热传导理论；研究过利用蒸发取得低温的方法；近代通风的方法 ；各种植物的移植；传染病的防治；墨西哥湾流速和温度的测量以及北美洲风暴运动的方向等等。富兰克林著名的发明有摇椅、双焦距眼镜、宾夕法尼亚火炉、高架取书架等等。 富兰克林在哲学上拥护自然神论，承认自然界的存在及其客观性。他也是最先有意识地用劳动时间来确定生产价值的人。富兰克林预言美国人口是按几何级数增加的，平均每25年增长 1 倍。这预言已为美国政府在上一世纪的人口普查所证实。富兰克林电学著作和论文有：《电的实验与观测》、《对于导电物质的性质与效应的见解和推测》、《在美国费城所进行的关于电的实验与观测》、《论闪电与静电的同一性》等。本杰明·富兰克林（Dr. Benjamin Franklin，1706年1月17日-1790年4月17日）美国著名的政治家与科学家。他同时亦是出版商、印刷商、记者、作家、慈善家；更是杰出的外交家及发明家。他是美国革命时重要的领导人之一，参与了多项重要文件的草拟，并曾出任美国驻法国大使，成功取得法国支持美国独立。富兰克林曾经进行多项关於电的实验，并且发明了避雷针。其他由他发明的事物包括有双焦点眼镜，蛙鞋等等。富兰克林是共济会的成员，被选为英国皇家学会院士。他亦是美国首任邮政总长(Postmaster General)。 目录 1 先祖 2 早年 3 中年 4 晚年 5 逝世后 先祖 本杰明·富兰克林的父亲若西亚·富兰克林（Josiah Franklin）生於1657年，是英格兰北安普顿郡的一个铁匠家庭之子。母亲艾比亚·富尔家（Abiah Folger）则是在1667年时出生於一麻萨诸塞州波士顿的学校教师家庭。若西亚·富兰克林於1677年年在英格兰首次结婚，生下数名儿女后，在1683年举家离开英格兰移居波士顿，以售卖杂货为生。之后他首任妻子去世，再娶的妻子艾比亚在波士顿生下本杰明·富兰克林。 早年 本杰明是他父亲十七名子女中最小的儿子。他上学至十岁，十二岁时在他兄长的出版社当学徒。十七岁时出走到费城，数月后到伦敦，在一家印刷厂内工作。后来在一名商人帮助下回到费城，成立了他自己的印刷公司，出版报纸，并且发表自己的文章，在当地的社会中得到相当的尊重。之后他出版的一本箴言书籍，令他大受欢迎。 1731年富兰克林与其他人合力组建了费城的第一家公共图书馆。图书馆收藏的书籍包括神学、历史、文学、科学等；之后北美各城市亦效法建立；对北美各地人民的启蒙起了不少作用。 1736年富兰克林组建了北美第一队志愿消防队。 中年 富兰克林1743年开始筹备一家学院，八年后学院成立，即为宾夕凡尼亚大学的前身。与此同时，他开始研究电及其他科学题目。 富兰克林发表关於龙卷风的论文内的插图 1748年，富兰克林退出了他的印刷生意，不过他仍然能从他的合夥人手中分得印刷店可观的利润，亦因此有时间进行他各样发明和研究，当中包括了他对电的研究。他发现电荷分为「正」、「负」，而且两者的数量是守恒的。1752年，富兰克林进行了一项著名的实验：在雷暴下放风筝，示范证明「雷电」是由电力造成。这是一项非常危险的试验，事实上，同时期有其他科学家进行类似的实验时被电殛死亡。至今不少人对於富兰克林当年是否真的进行了这样的实验，或实验到底是如何进行，仍然表示有怀疑。但没有疑问的是富兰克林发明了避雷针；英国皇家科学院亦为表扬富兰克林对电的研究，在1753年选他为院士。 除了研究电以外，富兰克林对气象学亦有所贡献。为了替他的报章寻找新闻，他经常到农夫市场去收集消息。他发现风暴经常在某地出现，然后在别的地方亦有风暴。他相信两者可能其实是同一个风暴，因此提出风暴会移动，最后衍生了日后出现的天气分析、天气图，改变了单纯依靠一地预报的方法。 1751年富兰克林在宾夕凡尼亚成立了一家医院。这医院日后成为全美国的首家医院。 富兰克林同时是一名出色的公职人员。不过他亦因为曾以权力替亲人谋求进升，使他的公务生涯蒙上污点。他最重要的政治成就包括改革北美的邮政系统，以及出任外交职位，分别代表北美殖民地与宗主国英国打交道，以及之后出使法国。 1754年，他率领宾夕凡尼亚州代表参家在纽约州阿尔巴尼举行的殖民地大会，提出各殖民联合的计划。虽然当时计划没有被接纳，但当中的不少内容之后被放进了美国的宪法内。1757年，他代表宾夕凡尼亚州人到英国向英王陈述，居住了五年，期间向英国人民及政府官员阐述了殖民地的状况和意见。牛津大学因为他在科学的成就，在这段时间颁赠他荣誉博士学位。他亦是在这段时间为他的私生子奔走，使他成功当上新泽西州的州长。 晚年 1764年富兰克林再度代表宾夕凡尼亚州到英格兰。在伦敦时他力主反对1765年的印捐法案。但是富兰克林同时为他的私交朋友取得美洲印捐代理人的职位，令他的诚信及民众支持度大为受损。一般相信这次利益冲突事件令富兰克林在日后再没有当上更高民选职位。纵使他成功令这法案得到取消，公众对他的支持已不再复返。但他仍然为美洲殖民地效力，在美国革命前替殖民地向英国陈情。这亦导致了富兰克林和他效忠英王的私生儿子之间的决裂。 1767年，富兰克林到法国，受到法国人的热烈欢迎。回到费城以后，他获选为大陆国会的成员，协助起草美国独立宣言。1776年，富兰克林被派到法国任代表美国的专员，一直至1785年。其间他很受法国社会各阶层的欢迎，有些富有的法国家族甚至流行以他的画像装饰画廊。富兰克林出使法国十分成功，取得对初生美国非常重要的法、美军事同盟，以及谈判签订了1783年的巴黎条约。当富兰克林在1785年回到美国时，他对美国独立作出的贡献只在华盛顿之下。 富兰克林亦是反对蓄奴的先驱。他从法国回国不久后即成为一个反对奴隶制，寻求释放被非法禁锢的黑人的组织主席。 1787年，已经退休的富兰克林出席了修改美国宪法的会议，成为唯一同时签署美国三项最重要法案文件的建国先贤。这三份文件分别是：独立宣言，1783年巴黎条约，以及1787年的美国宪法。 较少人知道的是，虽然富兰克林是著名的美国建国元勋，但在美国革命开始以前，他主要是作为外交人员，亦曾经强烈反对革命。只有在英国不可能在美洲殖民地维持统治的时候，他才成为独立运动的热切支持者。直至1780年，他仍然考虑愿意容许英国保持对美洲的主权，以换取殖民地的高度自治。 逝世后 富兰克林在1790年4月17日逝世，埋葬在费城一家教堂的墓地。 富兰克林的样子为世界各地不少人所熟悉：因为他是美元钞票中面额最高的一百美元纸币上的人像。在美国，俚语中一百美元纸币亦称为「富兰克林」。富兰克林的画像曾经还在半美元硬币、旧五十美元上出现。从1914年起，他便是部分百元美钞上的人像，1928年以后每张百元美钞上都印有他的样子。
