We visited the History Museum and were asked to write a paragraph on three events that happened in history. I learned about Benjamin Franklin and how he had a great effect on history with all of his inventions and his contributions to the advancement in the printing system, electricity, the postal system, diplomacy and the writing of more than four of our major founding documents including the U. S. Constitution. The world would not have had much of everything if it were not for Benjamin Franklin. Our ancestor took on great responsibilities. We learned a lot about the Civil War, the Olympics and other events in addition to that which we learned about Benjamin Franklin and we need to take it all into our heads. Learning new things about history brings us closer to our ancestors and an understanding of what they went through in order for us to have a world like we do.
