Beschreibung

From 1764 through 1766, John Dickinson’s writings reveal how he became a leading figure in the Pennsylvania Assembly and in the growing American resistance to unjust British taxation. Seeking protection of fundamental rights, he opposed Benjamin Franklin’s plan to abolish liberty of conscience in Pennsylvania, served as the lead draftsman in the Stamp Act Congress, and offered the American public the first practical advice on resisting British oppression.
