I invented everything you love and hold dear. What can I say, except YOU'RE WELCOME?

I was born on January 17, but I died on April 17 in #Philadelphia. I hope my contributions as a scientist, an author, a printer, a diplomat, and a politician to this country will withstand the tests of time and bring this country into the future.

Did you know that I signed all four documents that helped found the US? I signed: the #DeclarationofIndependence, the #TreatyofAlliancewithFrance, the #TreatyofParis and the #UnitedStatesConstitution.

I became the first #UnitedStatesPostmasterGeneral and created a system that would help deliver mail more quickly and efficiently. Here's the mail, and it never fails!

@GeorgeApush2018 The #StampAct is an injustice to the peoples of your colonies. We wish for the taxes to be #repealed.

@johnjayAPUSH18 We've got to sign the Treaty of Paris for the #ContinentalCongress in a few days. Hope you can make it!

[🅱enjamin 🅱ranklin @BenF_APUSH2018]

The #TreatyofParis was signed in 1783 to end the #RevolutionaryWar and to recognize our independence.

@JohnLibertyLoc The philosophy of natural rights in your book #TwoTreatisesofGovernment helped shape our nation.

@Apush2018Thomas Thank you for drafting the #DeclarationofIndependence. It was a lot of fun revising it, but I think using Google Docs would've been better, had it been invented in our time.

@ApushEli As an #inventor, the #cottongin is efficient and useful, I'll give it that, but as an #abolitionist, your invention led to the rise of #slavery, and that's pretty awful. I would still, however, give the cotton gin 3.5/5 stars

How are you liking the #Embargo on your tea, you Queen of Apes? https://t.co/vStsAONnrM

Happy #InternationalWomensDay, everyone. I kicked off my career as a writer under the pseudonym, #SilenceDogood, a middle-aged woman who vouched for free speech and that is where I stand today.

[🅱enjamin 🅱ranklin @BenF_APUSH2018]

@HamiltonAPUSH18 I saw you at the #ConstitutionalConvention! Granted, you took 6 hours to talk, but honestly, who gives a damn? You were pretty excellent!

[🅱enjamin 🅱ranklin @BenF_APUSH2018]

@UptSinAPUSH1804 Your book #TheJungle points out the flaws in handling the poor working conditions and handling of meat in the factories of your time. Your #socialcommentary and contribution to literature are valuable and essential to making the world a better place.

In 1736, I created the #UnionFireCompany, one of the very first firefighting companies of our day. Don't worry, we don't put out mixtapes.

[🅱enjamin 🅱ranklin @BenF_APUSH2018]

@WilliamPennAPUS I did quite a bit for the #colony you founded, #Pennsylvania. And by "a bit," I really mean "a lot."

[🅱enjamin 🅱ranklin @BenF_APUSH2018]

I brought #education to Pennslyvania's youth in my pamphlet, "Proposals Relating to the Education of Youth in Pensilvania." #TheAcademy and #TheCharitySchool can thank me later.

[🅱enjamin 🅱ranklin @BenF_APUSH2018]

The #ArticlesofConfederation was................how do I put this lightly..............a catastrophe.........

[🅱enjamin 🅱ranklin @BenF_APUSH2018]

@GeorgeApush2018 Have you ever tried reading my paper, the #PennsylvaniaGazette? I talk about you a lot :3

[🅱enjamin 🅱ranklin @BenF_APUSH2018]

To set the record straight, I did NOT invent #DaylightSavingsTime. The French just took me seriously! All I wrote was a satirical piece about how I thought peasants are the only ones waking up to see the sunrise so the upper class should wake up earlier to see the sunrise too!

[🅱enjamin 🅱ranklin @BenF_APUSH2018]

Why does everyone get my #quotes wrong?! It's not "A penny saved is a penny earned," it's "A penny saved is twopence dear" smh 😧😧😡😡
