The Intolerable Acts

The Intolerable Acts or the Coercive were created to punish the colony of Massachusetts for destroying the tea from the Boston Tea Party. Those who rebelled against these acts were the reason that caused the outbreak of the American Revolution which was in the year of 1775. They were in resistance to the Stamp Act, which as it sounds, meant they must place stamps on any postage documents that would be sent or mailed anywhere. Also the Boston Port Act, that was designed to punish the people and closed off the Boston port for a period of time. Lastly, the Quebec Act that expanded the territory of Quebec and was not ran by a representative government at that time.

The Age of Reason

The Age of Reason was written by Thomas Paine in the 18th century. it challenged what the Bible says and critiques religion. In 1794, 1795, and 1807 it was published into three different parts. It was very popular in America and caused a deistic revival. In The Age of Reason Thomas Paine states the Bible as just an ordinary piece of literature taking away from its miraculous power. Which brings me to another point that Paine didnt even believe in miracles. The Age of Reason promotes natural religion rather than a God- based religion. Fearful of what may come of the people's faith, the british governments had forbidden anyone from printing or making copies of this book.

Franklin's printing business was thriving in this 1730s and 1740s. He also started setting up franchise printing partnerships in other cities. By 1749 he retired from business and started concentrating on science, experiments, and inventions. This was nothing new to Franklin. In 1743, he had already invented a heat-efficient stove — called the Franklin stove — to help warm houses efficiently. As the stove was invented to help improve society, he refused to take out a patent. Among Franklin's other inventions are swim fins, the glass armonica (a musical instrument) and bifocals.
But Franklin thrived on work. In 1733 he started publishing Poor Richard's Almanack. Almanacs of the era were printed annually, and contained things like weather reports, recipes, predictions and homilies. Franklin published his almanac under the guise of a man named Richard Saunders, a poor man who needed money to take care of his carping wife. What distinguished Franklin's almanac were his witty aphorisms and lively writing. Many of the famous phrases associated with Franklin, such as, "A penny saved is a penny earned" come from Poor Richard.
In 1729, Benjamin Franklin bought a newspaper, the Pennsylvania Gazette. Franklin not only printed the paper, but often contributed pieces to the paper under aliases. His newspaper soon became the most successful in the colonies. This newspaper, among other firsts, would print the first political cartoon, authored by Ben himself.
During the 1720s and 1730s, the side of Franklin devoted to public good started to show itself. He organized the Junto, a young working-man's group dedicated to self- and-civic improvement. He joined the Masons. He was a very busy man socially.
