So, during the debate on whether to vote for independence, Franklin says this:

Higher, certainly, than she feels for them. Never was such a valuable possession so stupidly and recklessly managed, than this entire continent by the British crown. Our industry discouraged, our resouces pillaged... first of all our very character stifled. We've spawned a new race here, Mr. Dikinson. Rougher, simpler; more violent, more enterprising; less refined. We're a new nationality. We require a new nation.

And John Dickonson's response is basically, "Yeah, well, like, you know, that's just your opinion, man."
