"Thirsteth for the Blood of America": Propaganda and Violence during the American Revolution
Fischer, Taylor
Fischer, Taylor
Abstract
Drawing upon newspapers, political prints, pamphlets, broadsides, and personal correspondence from 1763 to 1783, this study analyzes the American Revolution's explosion of print culture. The sources largely originate from the colonies' three major northern port cities, Boston, Pennsylvania, and New York. Responding to the uptick in print culture, this study analyzes the influence of violence and race in Revolutionary propaganda. How did revolutionary patriot propaganda utilize violence and shape race-making practices? How did patriots revise understandings of race to bolster their cause?
