Read this excerpt from "Myths About the Founding Fathers." The myth may have to do with a letter he wrote to his daughter about the choice of the eagle "as the representative of our country." He criticized the eagle as “a rank coward . . . by no means a proper emblem.” He joked that the turkey was a better choice because it would attack British troops should they “invade his Farm Yard.” However, he never actually formally proposed to place the turkey on our Great Seal.

C. It shows a known story about Franklin is based solely on a few words that were meant to be funny, not serious.

D. It describes Franklin's personal view of the British compared to Americans.
