Lesson Outline
In today's session, Yanuell continued reading King George, What Was His Problem: The Whole Hilarious Story of the American Revolution. The chapter he read and discussed today looked at Benjamin Franklin's role in the war and began with a humorous story. The anecdote began by explaining that Franklin would do anything for independence, even share a single bed with John Adams. The two had been traveling together and could only find a room with a small bed, no chimney, and a tiny window. The two men tried to get comfortable, but Franklin wanted the window open and Adams was cold and afraid of getting sick. Franklin then explained, at length, his theory on colds. Adams said it was the best bedtime story he ever had and fell asleep quickly. Yanuell found this story to be hilarious and added that he loves this book. The remainder of the chapter looked at Franklin's focus on the colonies declaring independence, Thomas Paine and his pamphlet, Common Sense, and Abigail Adam's role as advisor to her husband.
