UNIT A NATION IS BORN

 By 1750, there were 4 th and 5 th generation Americans of European descent living in Virginia and New England.

 These people were English subjects and, apparently, satisfied with that status. In fact, few gave much thought to independence.

 Between the mid-1760s and the mid-1770s, however, attitudes changed dramatically.

 King George imposed a number of regulations that threatened the liberties of the colonists.

 With each measure, the outrage in America grew, finally erupting into war.

THE AGE OF REASON  The 18 th century is often characterized as the Enlightenment, or the Age of Reason.

 The writers and thinkers of the Enlightenment valued reason over faith.  Unlike the Puritans, they had little interest in the hereafter, believing instead in the power of reason and science to further human progress.

 They spoke of a social contract that would form the basis of government.  The American statesmen of the Revolutionary Period were themselves figures of the Enlightenment.

 Men like Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Paine and Thomas Jefferson, who not only expressed the ideas of the Age of Reason, but put them into practice.

 In contrast to the private, soul- searching of the Puritans, much of the literature produced during the Revolutionary period was public writing: newspapers, magazines, pamphlets, almanacs.
