1776 Live(@250YearsAgoLive):While traveling together, John Adams and Benjamin Franklin are compelled to share a bed. Instead of sleep, the pair argue all night about whether to leave the window open or closed. Franklin eventually wins the argument when Adams gets too tired and falls asleep. Adams writes a lengthy and angry diatribe in his diary about it.
