  1. Philadelphia was not the nation's capital in the 1730s. Mainly because the nation did not yet exist. And there's a lot of disingenuous stuff here - Benjamin Franklin helped negotiate the French alliance during the Revolution. The idea that he was a British double agent makes zero sense if you think about all of his contributions to the American cause. Yes, he partied. Yes, he was eccentric. But this focuses so much on the partying and eccentricity that it misses all of the important accomplishments.

  2.  @AbbeyRoadkill1  I agree. A total mess that managed to ignore all the important accomplishments in the man's life in favor of salacious rumor and outright nonsense.
