I left behind a lasting legacy as a Founding Father from "summary" of The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin by Benjamin Franklin
In reflecting on my life and the contributions I have made to my country, I am proud to say that I have left behind a legacy that will endure for generations to come. As one of the Founding Fathers of the United States, I played a key role in shaping the principles and values upon which our nation was founded. Through my work as a statesman, diplomat, and inventor, I sought to advance the cause of liberty and progress for all Americans. I was instrumental in drafting the Declaration of Independence, a document that enshrines the rights and freedoms of all citizens. Additionally, I was a key player in negotiating the Treaty of Paris, which ended the Revolutionary War and established the United States as an independent nation. As a Founding Father, I helped to establish the framework of our government through the drafting of the United States Constitution. I believed strongly in the principles of democracy and sought to create a system of government that would safeguard the rights of the people while promoting the common good. My contributions to the Constitutional Convention helped to shape the government that we have today. In addition to my political achievements, I was also a pioneer in the field of science and technology. I conducted experiments on electricity that laid the foundation for modern electrical theory. I also invented numerous practical devices, such as the Franklin stove and the lightning rod, that have improved the lives of countless people.- I believe that my legacy as a Founding Father is one of progress, innovation, and service to my country. I am proud to have played a role in the founding of the United States and to have helped to shape the principles that continue to guide our nation today. My hope is that future generations will look to my example and continue to strive for a more perfect union.
