One of Sharp's overseas friends is an American of some notoriety named Benjamin Franklin.

And in his off time, Sharp had a habit when he wasn't fighting slavery, he would write essays that were often published as pamphlets or tracts.

And he sends one of these pamphlets to his buddy, Benjamin Franklin, which lays out Sharp's argument that Americans shouldn't be taxed if they don't have parliamentary representation.

This dude's like at the center of the entire global history.

It's fucking amazing.

Like, yeah, just writing a lot of letters and absolutely changing the course of human history.

It's like the Forrest Gump of the 18th century.

He's like a really smart Forrest Gump, yeah?

Yeah, yeah.

Forrest Gump had done a whole lot of very more impressive stuff.

Yeah.

Yeah.

It's just I didn't know anything at all really about Granville Sharp until I started this.

I'm like, yeah, we should probably talk more about this guy.

Yes, dude.

Probably should be on money or something.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Put this fucker on the 20 pound note.

Yeah, yeah, we've got some people who really shouldn't be on money.
