now, the plans of the albany congress did not bear fruition as benjamin franklin tells us. no colonial congress or grand council as franklin conceived developed from the albany congress. nevertheless, franklin's idea which he shared with others of drawing the colonies more closely together under british rule so that they could form a common policy and front against the french and the native allies of the french, that was very important. and franklin, of course, expressed this idea through a famous cartoon that he published in the "pennsylvania gazette" in 1754 in philadelphia. and it shows the colonies as a snake, right? and either they it will join together or they'll die separately. now he chose to picture them from north to south. head to tail. new england grouping those together, new york, new jersey, pennsylvania, maryland, virginia, north carolina, south carolina, seems to have forgot georgia. maybe that was a little distant and not immediately -- he knew georgia was just a new and beginning colony and might not perhaps contribute so much to the common effort so frankl

and benjamin franklin was really keen on this, the continental congress was really keen on this.nd, in fact, at the end of his life he says this is my only regret, that i didn't get to bring canada into the united states of america by the force of french arms which i would have led. french aristocratic stuff. and the story there is how washington really does him in. and he very quietly kind of goes behind his back to the president of the continental congress and says we have to stop this. and the congress is really swiewz christmasic. they say it makes complete strategic sense, and he finally just goes up in person, and he says, let me tell you, you cannot trust the french. even if they act with the genuine intention of turning canada over to us, once you have a french fleet there and a french army, their view will change. and by the way, the march key delafayette says this is his idea, i'm not so sure. and then he encourages lafayette to take a long-awaited trip back to paris. lafayette never knew it was george washington who really put the kibosh on this project of his. washing

necessarily simply cooperative with the british war effort, especially farmers, and it took benjamin franklin's intervention to help procure wag dons and horses for the british army. and franklin acted as an agent for general braddock and advertised in pap's rur-- pennsylvania's rural counties and basically his message to the farmers was cooperate with the king. he is here to defend us. his troops that is. and if you cooperate, the kinging will pay well for your horses and carts. do not be afraid. as the men who would manage the carts or drive them and you will get good pay, but if you do not cooperate, then the king's business must be done and you will lose your wagons and horses and get nothing. so of course, the farmers did cooperate. and the king paid in good hard money. well, here we see roughly the path of braddocking from virginia and then maryland along north of the potomac and then long journey through the heavily wooded terrain finally approaching fort duquesne. july 1754. there he encounters a force of roughly a thousand in the enemy camp. they are, have, come out of the fort duquesn

. >> way back in 1736, benjamin franklin helped start the first volunteer fire department. ever since then, america has depended on volunteer firefighters. but the ranks are thinning. >> 42 years ago, when i joined the volunteer fire service, we had 1.2 million firefighters, and 900,000 were volunteers. today, we only have 700,000 volunteers. it's much harder for families and their work environment to have time to volunteer. >> are you hoping programs liket >> oh, yes, i am. i'm hoping in the future, we can get more volunteers. >> i see firefighting in my future. i really enjoy it. >> i would say go for it, you know? it's a lot of fun, and it's a great way to get involved in your community. >> no matter where you live, your families and your homes are a bit safer because of programs like these. for "teen kids news," i'm carina.

i think that benjamin franklin -- he said those who will sacrifice liberty for security deserve neither. the fact is that this is a real problem. i see it being a much greater problem. the think tanks that have looked at the issue, unfortunately, have said that in the next 10 years, there will be not one, but two dirty nuclear bombs exploded in the united states. i hope they're wrong. that is what the statistics show. if that does happen, god forbid, i believe that our fundamental democracy will be under the greatest attack it has ever experienced. as a matter of fact, one of the issues we're looking at in the aba is what would be the aba's response in the event there was a dirty nuclear bomb and habeas corpus was suspended in the united states, as it was by lincoln and by roosevelt? a lot of people don't remember that and don't know it. england, i was in england talking to their lawyers. i was talking to their security people. they don't have a constitution. they have much different ability to hold people for longer periods of time, and what they would do under similar circumstances. i

benjamin franklin and thomas jefferson and james madison we seem to have forgotten how to win wars consistent with those kinds of values with those and lightman values but george washington understood this at the battle of trenton for example he'd captured a thousand has sions these were german mercenaries base and he ordered his troops to treat them in accordance with the values that this new nation it was not yet even a nation actually was fighting for then a battle of princeton washington sent this order to his troops in regard to how to treat british prisoners of war he said treat them with humanity and let them have no reason to complain of our copy in the brutal example of the british army in their treatment of our unfortunate brother and who have fallen into their hands is the fact the matter is the british army when they took american soldiers as prisoners they would torture them many of them died being tortured they would indefinitely detain them they could they kept them in in stinking cells and fed them virtually nothing or just water and bread. indefinite detention and torture and

the fact is, the entrepreneur orial free enterprise system which attracted people from benjamin franklinight brothers, to henry ford to thomas edison to bill gates and steve jobs, that model of maximizing development of new approaches, new energy, new opportunities, new technology has raised the standard of living of people across this plant more than any other system in the history of the world.

crazy idea or that something we could see down the line i think you're exactly right you know benjamin franklin said you know people are willing to compromise their liberty for their security they deserve neither for the past decade and people right for league were scared after nine eleven but the fear is continued and they've let things like the patriot act and the drone missile program and targeting americans without trial in guantanamo to remain you know every once in awhile like the tenth anniversary a few people pay attention to come tomorrow and majority the public will be out of sight and out of mind again for another year and that is scary implications and terms of who's a terrorist i mean that's one thing when it's a fight abroad but what if i don't know occupy wall street or even the tea party i mean you know how how broadly could could could this whole terrorist definition issue be expanded what is i think some people take a little comfort in that president obama is the decision maker but if you get a rick perry or michele bachmann or someone like that who you know their vents now at
