19. Benjamin Franklin Wrote An Essay Which Angered The British Government
Benjamin Franklin was a very opinionated person, and he often wrote his opinions down in the form of an essay where he would then publish it. One of these essays was about how the population of the American Colonies was growing so fast that he believed it would surpass the people of Great Britain within 100 years. This idea angered the British Government so much that it gave them more of a push to start the American Revolution.
