Letters from a Farmer in Pennsylvania to the Inhabitants of the British Colonies

Written in 1767 and 1768, the Letters from a Farmer shaped one of many key foundations on which the American Revolution was constructed. John Dickinson, impassioned by the passage of the Townshend Acts, took up his pen and wrote of the best and most necessary missives the American continent had ever seen as he struck down the unconstitutional and immoral actions by Parliament on its loyal and loving colonies.

When John Dickinson died in 1808, Thomas Jefferson stated that that “a extra estimable man, or more true patriot, couldn’t have left us…his title will probably be consecrated in historical past as one of many nice worthies of the revolution.”

Upheld with Frequent Sense by Thomas Paine, Letters from a Farmer is the work that bought Individuals to face up for his or her rights as equal males and helped pave the way in which for a brand new nation primarily based on liberty.
