Why America is Great: Our Rich Heritage

Between the years of 1760 and 1776, over 400 pamphlets were written, published and distributed throughout the American colonies. Many of the pamphlets were written by laymen and dealt with inherent rights, the role of government, freedom, liberty, and even the right for the colonists to be an independent people.

Those pamphleteers sowed the seeds of freedom in the minds of the American people. In 1815, John Adams wrote to Thomas Jefferson about those pamphleteers:

What do we mean by Revolution? The war? That was no part of the Revolution; it was only an effect and consequence of it. The Revolution was in the minds of the people. The pamphlets, newspapers in all the colonies, ought to be consulted during that period to ascertain the steps by which the public opinion was enlightened and informed . . .

In a nod to those pamphleteers of the 1760s and 1770s, American Majority has released its first pamphlet in a monthly series entitled, “Why America is Great.” The first volume deals with America’s rich heritage and the transcendent principles of our Founding.
