Our Benjamin Franklin mug aims to inspire. With words of motivation from the fascinating Founding Father on the outside, and a stimulating depiction of a Benny on the inside, it is bound to be a persuasive daily reminder to keep pushing forward.

Benjamin Franklin's diplomatic skills resulted in an alliance with France and the provision of crucial financial and military assistance to the United States by Louis XVI's government. By 1783, Franklin, John Adams, and John Jay had negotiated a peace treaty with Great Britain, the Treaty of Paris, in which the independence and sovereignty of the United States was proclaimed. The National Archives holds in trust the Treaty of Paris, and it can be viewed in the National Archives Catalog.
