American Revolution

@Animalparty:, Yes, the American Revolution is a broad subject, but the various printers and newspapers were fundamental in spreading the word and promoting the cause of Independence, starting with their voice protesting the Stamp Act, as did Hall via his newspaper, so I've reintroduced the category, along with another. Hoping you'll reconsider. -- Gwillhickers (talk) 03:41, 21 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
