During this time, he saw the American colonies grow from tiny settlements into a nation and he also contributed much to the new state. He was deeply interested in science and natural history and his experiments with electricity and lightning led directly to the invention of the lightning rod.
He was also interested in improving the conditions of his fellow men. He was involved in a number of projects in his native Philadelphia, including the setting up of a library, and a university, a philosophical society and fireprevention service. He worked hard to enable the American colonies to gain independence from Britain. (24) As ambassador to France, he encouraged the French to help George Washington After the war, he attended the American Constitutional Congress.
