Pro and con opinion pieces, letters, essays and news reports that were printed in colonial newspapers will help the reader to understand the differing viewpoints of colonial Americans on the key issues from 1690 to the signing of the Declaration of Independence in 1776.
Nearly 300 documents, organized chronologically by event, will help readers step back in time to debate the issues faced by 18th century Americans. The work covers 31 events from abolition, religion, and women's rights to the Stamp Act crisis and the Boston Tea Party. This collection will be a valuable tool for research and classroom discussion."--BOOK JACKET.
