- "Before the events of the American Revolution became the history and foundation of the United States, they were littered among the news of the day for those in colonial America. Reading local newspapers such as the Boston Gazette and Pennsylvania Journal, colonists received new information every week on the growing conflict with Great Britain. The American newspapers of the eighteenth century fanned the flames of rebellion, igniting the ideas of patriotism and liberty among ordinary colonists who had never before been so strongly united.
