Memoirs/Biographies
Theirs was a three-decade-long bond that, more than any other
pairing, would forge the United States. Vastly different men,
Benjamin Franklin—an abolitionist freethinker from the urban
north—and George Washington—a slaveholding general from the
agrarian south—were the indispensable authors of American
independence and the two key partners in the attempt to craft a
more perfect union at the Constitutional Convention, held in
Franklin’s Philadelphia and presided over by Washington. And
yet their teamwork has been little remarked upon in the
centuries since.
Illuminating Franklin and Washington’s relationship with
striking new detail and energy, Pulitzer Prize–winning
historian Edward J. Larson shows that theirs was truly an
intimate working friendship that amplified the talents of each
for collective advancement of the American project.
During the French and Indian War, Franklin supplied the wagons
for General Edward Braddock’s ill-fated assault on Fort
Duquesne, and Washington buried the general’s body under the
dirt road traveled by those retreating wagons. After long
supporting British rule, both became key early proponents of
independence. Rekindled during the Second Continental Congress
in 1775, their friendship gained historical significance during
the American Revolution, when Franklin led America’s diplomatic
mission in Europe (securing money and an alliance with France)
and Washington commanded the Continental Army. Victory required
both of these efforts to succeed, and success, in turn,
required their mutual coordination and cooperation. In the
1780s, the two sought to strengthen the union, leading to the
framing and ratification of the Constitution, the founding
document that bears their stamp.
Franklin and Washington—the two most revered figures in the
early republic—staked their lives and fortunes on the American
experiment in liberty and were committed to its preservation.
Today the United States is the world’s great superpower, and
yet we also wrestle with the government Franklin and Washington
created more than two centuries ago—the power of the executive
branch, the principle of checks and balances, the electoral
college—as well as the wounds of their compromise over slavery.
Now, as the founding institutions appear under new stress, it
is time to understand their origins through the fresh lens of
Larson’sFranklin & Washington,a major addition to
the literature of the founding era.
