  On January 29, 1774, Benjamin Franklin was
called to appear before the Privy Council--a select group of the king's advisors--in an octagonal-shaped room in
Whitehall Palace known as the Cockpit. Spurred by jeers and applause from the audience in the Cockpit, Solicitor General
Alexander Wedderburn unleashed a withering tirade against Franklin. Though Franklin entered the room as a dutiful
servant of the British crown, he left as a budding American revolutionary. In The Making of a Patriot, renowned Franklin
historian Sheila L. Skemp presents an insightful, lively narrative that goes beyond the traditional Franklin
biography--and behind the common myths--to demonstrate how Franklin's ultimate decision to support the colonists was by
no means a foregone conclusion. In fact, up until the Cockpit ordeal, he was steadfastly committed to achieving "an
accommodation of our differences."
  The Making of a Patriot sheds light on the conspiratorial framework within
which actors on both sides of the Atlantic moved toward revolution. It highlights how this event ultimately pitted
Franklin against his son, suggesting that the Revolution was, in no small part, also a civil war.
  
  Reviews
  "Using a single incident as a point of
departure--Benjamin Franklin's humiliation by the Privy Council in 1774--Sheila Skemp explores how and why Franklin came
to renounce his allegiance to the King in order to become one of the foremost proponents of American independence.
Through her incisive examination of Frankli''s personal and political struggles, Skemp sheds light on the intellectual
choices and painful decisions that were necessary for those who came to support the American cause."--Rosemarie Zagarri, George Mason University, author of Revolutionary Backlash: Women and Politics
in the Early American Republic
  
  "Once again Sheila Skemp demonstrates her unique ability to
illustrate the long-term consequences of an isolated incident through a single individual. This time the person is
Benjamin Franklin and the critical moment is the withering tongue lashing he received at the Cockpit. As she skillfully
contextualizes the events preceding and following that scathing interview in a highly readable narrative, Skemp makes a
compelling case for Franklin's disenchantment with England and the development of his American identity."--Elaine Forman Crane, Fordham University
  
  "Sheila Skemp's lively and
immensely informative book is full of insights into both leading individuals and politics, balancing a crucial event and
the actions and intentions that shaped it. Her Franklin is a good politician, not a perfect one; she writes to
understand rather than to celebrate. Her narrative highlights contingency while bringing together many themes of recent
scholarship."--David Waldstreicher, Temple University, author of Runaway America: Benjamin
Franklin, Slavery and the American Revolution
