man supplies reached America. The French now recognized the United States as an
independent nation.

life in France, but in fact he missed his home. He felt far removed from
America. Ben afraid to die in France. He would die in Boston, America. Ben’s
sweet home.
Finally Ben

to win the war. Benjamin Franklin was one delegation in Constitutional
