I gave American colonists a new change of government. Limited royal power, liberty, and property. My rights were extended to more and more English people in North America.]]> 2019-10-17 16:46:38 UTC https://padlet.com/1051544/abaxwje8wucn/wish/399142256 1051544 https://padlet.com/1051544/abaxwje8wucn/wish/399142394 I helped create an American identity by causing the people to take responsibility for their own government. Gave the power to the people, getting rid of the traditional government system of parliament passing laws.]]> 2019-10-17 16:46:51 UTC https://padlet.com/1051544/abaxwje8wucn/wish/399142394 1051544 https://padlet.com/1051544/abaxwje8wucn/wish/399142559  I helped create an American identity by influencing colonials using religion. Called by the ministers who wished for a "new birth", or a return to the strong faith of the earlier days. Gave greater religous and political freedom. Created more self-faith in the colonists, and this caused the official churches power decline.]]> 2019-10-17 16:47:05 UTC https://padlet.com/1051544/abaxwje8wucn/wish/399142559 1051544 https://padlet.com/1051544/abaxwje8wucn/wish/399142898  I helped create an American identity by teaching children to read and write at home, from their parents. In 1647, a public education law was created to force each community to have a teacher that was paid through taxes. Many of the first colleges were established to train ministers.]]> 2019-10-17 16:47:36 UTC https://padlet.com/1051544/abaxwje8wucn/wish/399142898 1051544 https://padlet.com/1051544/abaxwje8wucn/wish/399143096 I helped create an American identity by spreading knowledge. Paper and type were expensive, so many books came from Britain. Almanacs were also used to spread knowledge, they were  as popular as newspapers. An almanac provided calendars, dates of famous holiday, times of sunset and rise, and even advice and information about farming.]]> 2019-10-17 16:47:55 UTC https://padlet.com/1051544/abaxwje8wucn/wish/399143096 1051544 https://padlet.com/1051544/abaxwje8wucn/wish/399143414 I helped create an American identity by passing laws that benefited the British. They were made to control American colonies production, stating that the colonists had to sell their materials to Britain, no matter what. All trade goods have to be carried by British ships and by crews that were British also. Any goods had to be carried to England to be taxed before arriving to other countries in Europe.]]> 2019-10-17 16:48:29 UTC https://padlet.com/1051544/abaxwje8wucn/wish/399143414 1051544 https://padlet.com/1051544/abaxwje8wucn/wish/399143530 I helped create an American identity by maximizing trade exports and causing benefits for Britain. Believing in profitable trading. Caused the British to have an import of raw materials. ]]> 2019-10-17 16:48:39 UTC https://padlet.com/1051544/abaxwje8wucn/wish/399143530 1051544 https://padlet.com/1051544/abaxwje8wucn/wish/399143875  I helped create an American identity by believing in a much better guide than faith or tradition. I turned the 1700s into an age of enlightenment. I turned thinkers into philosophers. I attacked superstition, unreasoned beliefs, to change society.]]> 2019-10-17 16:49:20 UTC https://padlet.com/1051544/abaxwje8wucn/wish/399143875 1051544 https://padlet.com/1051544/abaxwje8wucn/wish/399144758  I helped create an American identity by revolutionizing the idea of government. By spelling out my political ideas into a book read and discussed across Europe and America. I influenced American colonists like Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson. I believed in natural laws, created by God to form an orderly universe.]]> 2019-10-17 16:50:57 UTC https://padlet.com/1051544/abaxwje8wucn/wish/399144758 1051544 https://padlet.com/1051544/abaxwje8wucn/wish/399145125  I helped create an American identity by bringing natural rights to the people. Making colonial legislatures pass laws instead of the English way of making laws, having parliament assemble and make laws. Looked to the thinkers of the Enlightenment to make the natural laws and government responsible to the people.]]> 2019-10-17 16:51:36 UTC https://padlet.com/1051544/abaxwje8wucn/wish/399145125 1051544 https://padlet.com/1051544/abaxwje8wucn/wish/399169700 I helped create an American identity by changing England and the overseas colonies. Allowed the American colonies to run local affairs with freedom. Great Britain received many American colony productions such as wheat, fur, deerskin leather, etc. The control the trade, Britain released the Navigation Acts to make the colonists sell their raw materials to Britain, no matter what.]]> 2019-10-17 17:30:06 UTC https://padlet.com/1051544/abaxwje8wucn/wish/399169700 1051544 https://padlet.com/1051544/abaxwje8wucn/wish/399170236 I helped create an American identity by beginning the first step of the revolution. Colonists began smuggling products elsewhere without being taxed, to be able to make more money. More population caused the colonies to grow, and make their own manufactured goods. This then caused the colonists to want higher prices for their products. ]]> 2019-10-17 17:30:54 UTC https://padlet.com/1051544/abaxwje8wucn/wish/399170236
