This idea spread to revolutionary leaders in America such as Benjamin Frankling and Thomas Jefferon, and his ideas are reflecred in the Declaration of Independence and the Consitution.]]> 2019-10-17 16:45:10 UTC https://padlet.com/1051999/h5l2iato1n0y/wish/399141427 1051999 https://padlet.com/1051999/h5l2iato1n0y/wish/399143810 I helped create a unique American Idenity by inspiring American colonists to revolt aganist the king due to this document supposedly meant to stop the abuse of power of the king (which stemmed from lavish taxes to cover failed military ventures of King John) and provide basic rights to all peoples.]]> 2019-10-17 16:49:11 UTC https://padlet.com/1051999/h5l2iato1n0y/wish/399143810 1051999 https://padlet.com/1051999/h5l2iato1n0y/wish/399147121 I helped create a unique American Identity by causing greater political participation in the colonies than anywhere else in the world due to the fact that many of the colonies were royal colonies, under the influence of the king, who appointed people under his control to make and pass laws. However, only a few people could vote (white, landowning men) yet there was a higher general political particiaption and knowledge about it than any other place in the European world at the time.]]> 2019-10-17 16:55:21 UTC https://padlet.com/1051999/h5l2iato1n0y/wish/399147121 1051999 https://padlet.com/1051999/h5l2iato1n0y/wish/399149261 I helped to create a unique American Identity by granitng people politcal and religious freedom (due to the fact that I caused people to choose their own religion) and also united the northern and southern colonies which caused revolutionary ideas and ideals to be exchanged.]]> 2019-10-17 16:58:43 UTC https://padlet.com/1051999/h5l2iato1n0y/wish/399149261 1051999 https://padlet.com/1051999/h5l2iato1n0y/wish/399159884 I helped to create a unique American Identity by sowing dissent and dissaproval among the American people by forcing them to sell their raw materials to only great Britian, and also forcing them to have Britian tax any non-Britian products that were bought from the colonies. In addition, all trade goods had to be carried on British made ships with British crews.]]> 2019-10-17 17:15:21 UTC https://padlet.com/1051999/h5l2iato1n0y/wish/399159884 1051999 https://padlet.com/1051999/h5l2iato1n0y/wish/399159885 I helped to create a unique American Identity by causing resentment towards the British due to the colonies' population having grown large enough to sustain itself and also wanted to manufacture their own goods instead of relying on Great Britian to make them, and in addition, wanted to sell their raw material to other countries at a higher price. ]]> 2019-10-17 17:15:21 UTC https://padlet.com/1051999/h5l2iato1n0y/wish/399159885 1051999 https://padlet.com/1051999/h5l2iato1n0y/wish/399159887 I helped to create a unique American Identity by being acessible to a large number of people and being used more than British books due to the lower cost, and by spreading revolutionary ideals through newspapers and almanacs.]]> 2019-10-17 17:15:21 UTC https://padlet.com/1051999/h5l2iato1n0y/wish/399159887 1051999 https://padlet.com/1051999/h5l2iato1n0y/wish/399165515 I helped to create a unique American Identity by causing a large amount of the American population to be literate and also have the ability to write, (the percentage of people that could both read and write was higher than any other country in Europe at the time) which allowed for the masses to understand and spread the revolutionary ideas that spread like fire throughout the colonies. ]]> 2019-10-17 17:24:35 UTC https://padlet.com/1051999/h5l2iato1n0y/wish/399165515
