1706 - 1790 Benjamin Franklin laws
Benjamin Fraklin: laws
TEMPERANCE. Eat not to dullness; drink not to elevation.
SILENCE. Speak not but what may benefit others or yourself;
avoid trifling conversation.
ORDER. Let all your things have their places; let each part
of your business have its time.
RESOLUTION. Resolve to perform what you ought; perform
without fail what you resolve.
FRUGALITY. Make no expense but to do good to others or
yourself; i.e., waste nothing.
INDUSTRY. Lose no time; be always employ’d in something
useful; cut off all unnecessary actions.
SINCERITY. Use no hurtful deceit; think innocently and
justly, and, if you speak, speak accordingly.
JUSTICE. Wrong none by doing injuries or omitting the
benefits that are your duty.
MODERATION. Avoid extremes; forbear resenting injuries so
much as you think they deserve.
CLEANLINESS. Tolerate no uncleanliness in body, cloaths, or
habitation.
TRANQUILLITY. Be not disturbed at trifles, or at accidents
common or unavoidable.
CHASTITY. Rarely use venery but for health or offspring,
never to dulness, weakness, or the injury of your own or another’s peace or
reputation.
HUMILITY. Imitate Jesus and Socrates.
Knowing virtues is like having a map; adopting them is
actually taking the journey. And when it comes to the journey, Franklin
advised:
My intention being to acquire the habitude of all these virtues, I judg’d it would be well not to distract my attention by attempting the whole at once, but to fix it on one of them at a time; and, when I should be master of that, then to proceed to another, and so on, till I should have gone thro’ the thirteen; and, as the previous acquisition of some might facilitate the acquisition of certain others, I arrang’d them with that view, as they stand above. Temperance first, as it tends to procure that coolness and clearness of head, which is so necessary where constant vigilance was to be kept up, and guard maintained against the unremitting attraction of ancient habits, and the force of perpetual temptations. This being acquir’d and establish’d, Silence would be more easy; and my desire being to gain knowledge at the same time that I improv’d in virtue, and considering that in conversation it was obtain’d rather by the use of the ears than of the tongue, and therefore wishing to break a habit I was getting into of prattling, punning, and joking, which only made me acceptable to trifling company, I gave Silence the second place.

The Founding Fathers of the United States
The Founding Fathers of the United States, commonly
referred to as the Founding Fathers, were a group of late-18th-century American
revolutionary leaders who united the Thirteen Colonies, oversaw the War of
Independence from Great Britain, established the United States of America, and
crafted a framework of government for the new nation.
The Founding Fathers include those who signed the United
States Declaration of Independence, the Articles of Confederation, the United
States Constitution and others. In 1973, historian Richard B. Morris identified
seven figures as key founders, based on what he called the "triple
tests" of leadership, longevity, and statesmanship: John Adams, Benjamin
Franklin, Alexander Hamilton, John Jay, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, and
George Washington.
Most of the Founding Fathers were of English ancestry,
though many had family roots extending across various regions of the British
Isles, including Scotland, Wales, and Ireland. Additionally, some traced their
lineage back to the early Dutch settlers of New York (New Netherland) during
the colonial era, while others were descendants of French Huguenots who settled
in the colonies, escaping religious persecution in France.

Historical founders
Thomas Jefferson, a key Founding Father, was the primary
author of the Declaration of Independence, which Pulitzer Prize-winning
historian Joseph Ellis says contains "the most potent and consequential
words in American history".
Historian Richard Morris' selection of seven key founders
was widely accepted through the 20th century. John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, and
Benjamin Franklin were members of the Committee of Five that were charged by
the Second Continental Congress with drafting the Declaration of Independence.
Franklin, Adams, and John Jay negotiated the 1783 Treaty of Paris, which
established American independence and brought an end to the American
Revolutionary War.[9] The constitutions drafted by Jay and Adams for their
respective states of New York (1777) and Massachusetts (1780) proved
influential in the language used in developing the U.S. Constitution. The
Federalist Papers, which advocated the ratification of the Constitution, were
written by Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and Jay. George Washington was
Commander-in-Chief of the Continental Army and later president of the
Constitutional Convention
Each of these men held additional important roles in the early government of the United States. Washington, Adams, Jefferson, and Madison served as the first four presidents; Adams and Jefferson were the nation's first two vice presidents; Jay was the nation's first chief justice; Hamilton was the first Secretary of the Treasury; Jefferson was the first Secretary of State; and Franklin was America's most senior diplomat from the start of the Revolutionary War through its conclusion with the signing of the Treaty of Paris in 1783.
New England and Virginia colonists originally celebrated
days of fasting, as well as days of thanksgiving, thanking God for blessings
such as harvests, ship landings, military victories, or the end of a drought.
These were observed through church services, accompanied with feasts and other
communal gatherings.
The modern day Thanksgiving Day in the U.S. is a federal
holiday for Americans to give thanks as the Pilgrims did with their Native
American neighbors after their first harvest in Plymouth (now in Massachusetts)
in November 1621. This feast lasted three days and was attended by 90 Native
American Wampanoag people and 53 survivors of the Mayflower (Pilgrims).
Less widely known is an earlier Thanksgiving celebration in
Virginia in 1619 by English settlers who had just landed at Berkeley Hundred
aboard the ship Margaret.
History of the United States
In 1776, in Philadelphia, the Second Continental Congress declared the independence of the colonies as the "United States of America". Led by General George Washington, it won the Revolutionary War in 1783. The Treaty of Paris established the borders of the new sovereign state. The Articles of Confederation, while establishing a central government, was ineffectual at providing stability. A convention wrote a new Constitution that was adopted in 1789, and a Bill of Rights was added in 1791 to guarantee inalienable rights. Washington, the first president, and his adviser Alexander Hamilton created a strong central government. The Louisiana Purchase in 1803 doubled the size of the country.
