(3:02) The first library in America was the 'Biblioteca Palafoxiana' located in Puebla, Mexico. It is recognized by the UNESCO as the first and oldest public library in the Americas.
Very interesting. Thanks. However, most English/Colonist were religious zealots of there own breed. A library controlled by a church has a few issues. 1. You become excommunicated. 2. Not of religion 3. Church rules not allowing certain books. Many universities have libraries but if not a fellow, student, ect access is denied. It was for this reason Franklins library idea was different. You could borrow books and take them home! No, library before allowed that to the General Public. The American constitutionalist were very much for separation of church and state. I'm by no means against you. Two of the oldest Cities in the United States America are from the Spanish. Florida's St. Augusta (i think) And Santa Fe, NM . One could argue other then Pueblo Indian sites.
Join or Die was not about the revolution, but it was about the French and Indian war. Franklin was rallying the colonies to assist the colonies to fight with the British against the French. Great video :)
That is a good and correct point. I intended it as a way of describing how he tried to rally the colonies together but I can see how it could be mistakenly interpreted as his rally against the British empire. Thanks for watching :)
To the *incredible person* seeing this, I wish you all the best in life❤ don't over blame yourself, accept things and go forward. Don't let others define what “success” is for you. Get up, learn the skills needed and get after it, all the keys to a happy life is in your hands. Keep pushing.
Very nice and informative. All men and women who have earned distinction do not have an easy past. Definitely their struggle has paid off at last. It is a well known proverb that a calm sea never produces a good mariner!!
While such a sad story, what a story it is ! Fritz Haber deserves a movie because his life is the perfect anti-hero character curve. Anyone with capital thinks the same ? 50k usd and we can do a serious 'teaser' that we can pitch to studios. Royalties can help fund causes for the millions of people who were victims of Haber's innovations
If you are referring to the controversial part, Elon Musk probably isn't racist at all. He once referred to his dad as the most evil man ever, reciting an incident back in 🇿🇦 where his dad shot dead 2 men. Reciting the history of the country, those were Arpatheid days, so the men were probably black. Elon witnessed it while very young. 😭😭😭
So being an ambassador isn't a political position? He did both things simultaneously, science and politics. We would have lost the war without him. Nay, he was a horrible husband and father, but good at everything else, including politics.
Really liked Benjamin Franklin until I learned he didn’t like people and owned slaves. However, He was insanely credited in what he did and achieved so much huge respect
I bet you read the book Benjamin Franklin: An American Life by Walter Isaacson, and wanted to make this video. I'm almost through it myself. I bet you read it because he is writing a book on Elon Musk. Am i reading you like an open book or what?

"Those who would give up essential liberty only to purchase temporary safety do not deserve liberty or safety" - Benjamin Franklin
That is often quoted out of context by people who know nothing of the circumstances or what he meant by it.

Cindy, I love your research and your clarity of thought.

I always found it a bit odd that when we learned about Benji it was not so political. All I remember from the class were his kites and electricity.

They were referring to America as in the United States of America in this video. Not the first lending library in the Americas.
His autobiography is one of the best to read.
Nice educational content, please upload similar contents from other's in near future. All the best, stay well .

Hello, fellow PBS viewer! Ken Burns makes some great documentaries, right? I'm glad we can share this common interest.
Didn't Benjamin Franklin had syphilis?
Amazing what a person can do when they’re not overworked and underpaid
You forgot to mention that he met Haytham Kenway
Yes, he was recognized as a scientist before he became recognized as a statesman.
Silent dogood letters?

This goes to show that maybe there is nothing wrong in owning slaves after all, you could turn out to be a genius, the guy was also a womanizer.
