The Autobiography of Ben Franklin is a must read for any student studying American History from fifth grade to University Level.
In this assignment students will take a critical look at one of the quotes Ben Franklin made in his autobiography. Ben Franklin said, “Man is sometimes more generous when he has little money than when he has plenty; perhaps to prevent his being thought to have but little.”
