Special Lecture | Benjamin Franklin in London: From British Royalist to American Patriot

Living in London for the best part of two decades, he sought to bring Great Britain and US colonies more firmly together. But his plans were rejected by Lord North’s government and in March 1775 he was forced to flee and to make a momentous decision.
