This pamphlet, written by Stephen Hopkins and published in 1765, was one of the earliest works to articulate the grievances of the American colonies against the British government. Hopkins was a prominent patriot and signer of the Declaration of Independence, and this document reflects the growing sentiment among colonists that they were being unfairly taxed and oppressed by the Crown.
