John Dickinson and the Farmer Letters Gain Widespread Fame
Writing in the 1760s, John Dickinson argued Parliament could not tax the American colonies without consent. His Letters from a Farmer in Pennsylvania denounced the Townshend Acts, shaping colonial opposition and earning praise from figures like Sam Adams. Dickinson’s cautious moderation contrasted with tumultuous colonial politics and press clashes in Pennsylvania.
