Relations between American colonists and Great Britain soured quickly after [BLANK-1] in March of 1770. During this event, off-duty British soldiers had wrecked a local shop after being insulted by the shopkeeper. Once the soldiers left the shop, colonists began to follow them down the street, throwing snowballs (and according to the soldiers, rocks). When the soldiers met up with a larger regiment of troops, the colonists continued to pelt them with snowballs. In response, the British troops opened fire on the colonists, killing five of them. The incident outraged colonists in New England and, thanks to newspapers, throughout the British American colonies.

[BLANK-1] fought for a type of economic protest known as non-consumption. Non-consumption was one of the most influential and effective forms of economic protest; the practice tremendously pushed America toward revolution. Examples include refusing to purchase or consume sugar, tea, or British-made clothing. People were shamed into wearing older clothes, community parties were held to darn socks and other types of clothing, and tea-drinkers and coffee-drinkers were shunned.

An important court case involving [BLANK-1] paved the way for freedom of the press in the American colonies and ultimately contributed to American independence through the rise of critical coverage of current events in colonial newspapers.

During the Great Awakening in colonial North America, there was a tremendous reaction against perceived sinfulness and the cold and emotionless sermons of Enlightenment-inspired preachers. [BLANK-1] of New England delivered a fiery sermon known as “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God” that used fear tactics, theatricality, and fire-and-brimstone preaching to convince the audience of the dangers of hell.
