13. Benjamin Franklin Became Estrange From William
Before the American Revolution, Benjamin Franklin and his oldest son, William, had a wonderful relationship. Unfortunately, the father and son became estranged when Benjamin started fighting for American independence and William continued to support the British. Franklin wrote his son out of his will after William refused to step down as royal governor of New Jersey. Franklin spoke to William for the last time in the 1780s, when Franklin was traveling back to America from France.
