Codex 1.29 Ben Franklin’s Autobiography (Chapter 13.3)

For almost two decades I hosted history-related radio programs that were broadcast throughout North America on a Francophone network of French language community radio stations. One of these weekly shows was Au courants de l’histoire, which translates in English as Historical Currents. One of my topics was the life and deeds of a talented man that produced works that would enchant millions of North American kids, young and old. E196.

Boston Massacre (1770) & Tea Party (1773)

Published as a 47-page pamphlet in colonial America on January 10, 1776, Common Sense challenged the authority of the British government and the royal monarchy. The elegantly plain and persuasive language that Thomas Paine used touched the hearts and minds of the average American and was the first work to openly ask for political freedom and independence from Great Britain. Paine’s powerful words came to symbolize the spirit of the Revolution itself. General George Washington had it read to his troops.
