dc.description.abstract |
Substantiating how colonial ideals towards liberty and independence altered
and by what means is the primary goal of this thesis. The colonial gazettes, in the
period between 1765 and 1774, expressed new transitional ideas concerning
government, religion, the economy, and a host of other social issues. These new
views saturated the colonial world and aided in formulating new attitudes towards
attainable liberty. Validating when the ideological transformation took place and
why is the secondary goal of this thesis. The available gazettes will be examined in
the following reactionary phases: the Stamp Act, the Townshend Duties, the Boston
Massacre, the Boston Tea Party, and the Coercive Acts. The former events achieved
widespread exposure from rebel authors, forcing those colonists exposed to the
declaratory and persuasive literature to take stances on issues they might not have
encountered were it not for the gazettes at their disposal. |
