 +some of the excuses I have heard.
 +  * Too hard to change now.  Like telling Americans to drive on the left, there would be chaos.
 +  * It doesn't matter mathematically in circuit analysis.  (not true for batteries, transistors and diodes)
 +  * There are two simultaneous and opposite circuits: the electrons flow from negative to positive, the positive charge flows from positive to negative.  (False) 
 +
 +Ben Franklin is often blamed for the mixup, because he described positive and negative charges 50 years before the first battery, and 150 years before the electron was discovered.

 +He decided that the glass rod being rubbed with silk would be a positive charge while the rubber and fur would be a negative charge. So, with that convention, by removing electrons, the glass rod became positively charged and by adding electrons, the rubber rod became negatively charged.

 +  * 1752 Ben Franklin flew his kite in a storm and captured electricity from lighting.  He described positive and negative charges.
 +    * Rubbing a glass rod with silk produces a positive charge.
 +    * Rubbing rubber with fur produces a negative charge.
 +  * 1800 Alessandro Volta invented the first battery, the voltaic pile. https://www.liquisearch.com/alessandro_volta/first_battery
 +    * zinc: negative electrode
 +    * copper: positive electrode
 +    * saltwater: electrolite
 +  * 1861 Maxwell presents his equations (right-hand thumb rule?)
 +  * 1897 J.J. Thomson discovers the electron, described it as a negatively charged particle floating in a sea of positive charge, like plums in a pudding, the "plum pudding model"
 +  * 1909 Rutherford discovers the nucleus in the gold foil experiments and develops the planetary model
 +  * 1913 Niels Bohr discovers the specific energy levels of electrons in the atom
 +  * 1940 US Navy begins training electronics engineers using the electron current.
 +  * 1945 John Ambrose Fleming dies

 +Battery\\
 +two terminals marked + and -\\
 +Is that true?  Does the - terminal really have a superfluence of electrons?
 +annode, cathode
 +
 +chemical reactions:
 +  * oxidation = loss of electrons
 +  * reduction = gain of electrons
 +
 +anion - has gained an electron, negative charge
 +cation - has lost an electron, positive charge
 +
 +cathode - reduction occurs, 
 +
 +anode - oxidation occurs, anions give off electrons, negative charge
 +
 +species?
 +
 +electrons flow from anode to cathode, from oxidation half to reduction half
 +
 +inside the battery, electrons flow from positive to negative inside the battery
 +outside the battery, from negative to positive
 +
 +flow is reversed by a battery charger, something with a bigger voltage
