Did he really abandon his wife Deborah, or did she abandon him?- Why he never applied for any patents for his famous inventions.- Why George Washington loved Franklin and John Adams despised him.- Why he turned against his beloved son, William, and never forgave him.- His preference for private welfare and charities rather than state-run social programs and welfare.Benjamin Franklin was the oldest of the founding fathers — he was indeed a whole generation ahead of George Washington, John Adams and Thomas Jefferson — and yet he was the most forward-looking of the group and the most modern of the founders.
