I helped create a unique American identity by deeply influencing the colonists like Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, and more. Other Enlightenment thinkers and I worked together to understand the natural laws. Once we figured it out, my dear friend Newton discovered the laws of gravity. I believe that we citizens have the rights to live, have liberty, and own property.

I helped create a unique American identity by giving them greater religious and political freedom in the colonies. Religion had a strong influence on people in the colonial life and they knew that they needed to have the strong faith of the earlier days. Many colonists though chose their own faith, and the number of official churches decreased. I also caused united colonists from North to South in a common cause.

I helped create a unique American identity by giving children education that will help them in the future. many colonies valued education, children were taught to read and write at home by their parents. some communities had schooling with teachers in them who were paid by taxes. Formal education was only provided to those of the wealthy people. Education was close to religion. some of the first colleges were Harvard, William, Yale, and more.

I helped create a unique American Identity by creating British and adding navigation acts which are methods that we implement today in our daily lives.

I helped create a unique American Identity by causing chaos between America and England that would lead to war. That may sound incorrect but, if the Americans didn't smuggle foods and ship them in and out without paying taxes them we might have still been part of England. so this helped create America, not in the best way, but it happened.
