Publisher Description
Originally written and circulated anonymously from 1767 to 1768, these letters were important in uniting the American colonists against the Townshend Acts. Pennsylvania lawyer and legislator John Dickinson published these 12 letters under a pseudonym. He argued that the colonies could control their own internal affairs and that the taxes imposed by Parliament were therefore unconstitutional. Dickinson's letters also predicted a future armed conflict between Great Britain and the colonies.
