6. BENJAMIN FRANKLIN
Benjamin Franklin was born in Boston on January
17th ,1706. He was the tenth son of soap maker, Josiah
Franklin. Josiah married his 2nd wife named Abiah
Folger. When Benjamin was 15 his brother started
running the newspaper for the town. Then Smallpox
spread through the town. As a result, there was a
debate about whether you should give someone a
vaccine when they are not sick or wait to give them
regular medicine when they are sick. James, Ben’s
brother, made fun of the religious people so he was
immediately thrown in jail. When he was released he
started beating Benjamin. Eventually Benjamin ran
away. He moved to Philadelphia and married a women
named Deborah Read and became a wonderful
inventor.

Pennsylvania has a warm place in my heart. Here
is why:
Pennsylvania is a free state. We can not litter and
we have to keep Pennsylvania clean. We also have
to keep PA safe. I love living in a state like
Pennsylvania.

What makes Pennsylvania history so special to me:
Pennsylvania is important because many cool
inventions come from PA. Pennsylvania was one
of the 13 colonies of the United States. Pennsylvania
history has also produced many great foods which I
love to eat. We have a lot of history within our state
which makes it special to me.
