Answer:

The correct answer is "he believed the united state and England would become allies in the future".

Explanation:

Benjamin Franklin was essential for the peaceful end of the American Revolutionary War, being one of the American Commissioners in France who negotiated the Treaty of Paris. During this historical period Benjamin Franklin wrote several letters on negotiating the Peace with England. He believed that the United State and England would become allies in the future, therefore England should be not treated harshly and both countries should negotiate peace.
