Скачать или смотреть Ben Franklin and Turkeys

American folklore suggests that Ben Franklin proposed that the turkey should be the national symbol of the USA and it turns out this is true.

Ben Franklin proposed the turkey as the national symbol rather than the bald eagle.

He thought the turkey was a "true original Native of America" and a "more respectable bird."

Franklin believed eagles had bad moral character and did not earn their living honestly.

He described turkeys as courageous birds that would attack British soldiers invading their farm yards.

Despite Franklin's preference for the turkey, the bald eagle was chosen as the national symbol in 1782.

To this day, Franklin's comments praising the turkey remain part of the folklore surrounding turkeys in America.
