Franklin was a Colonial Deputy Postmaster and it only fitting that we look at some of the stamps used for postal income after his death. http://www.postalmuseum.si.edu/museum/1d_franklin.html

The United States post office has issued over one hundred thirty stamps depicting Benjamin Franklin. He has also appeared on booklet stamps, postal stationery, and revenue stamps. The rarest Franklin stamp is the 1-cent Z grill, with only two copies recorded of this National Bank Note Company issue of 1867-68. In 2006 the United States Postal Service honored Franklin’s 300th birthday with a block of four stamps illustrating his various roles as printer, scientist, postmaster, and statesman.

from above linked article from the Smithsonian Postal Museum.

We are now bound for another subject intricately linked to the success of the American Revolution. The rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. Hope there are few TOTVers whose eyes glaze over with boredom when mentioning this Corsican who had such an impact on European History a well as that of the United States.
