How much do you know about how news spread during colonial times? Did the Stamp Act riots make a difference for the colonists? Did the colonists just love chaos or were there other factors that led their decisions? How much do you know about John Locke and his influence on the founding fathers?
On today’s episode we’re exploring the widespread reaction and actions taken after the Stamp Act riot in Boston on August 14, 1765. From a funeral to liberty, to scaring some loyalists back to Britain, things are just heating up.
