Ink and Independence: A Look at Propaganda and the American Revolution

Beyond the colonies, the program also investigates how American propagandists sought to gain sympathy and support overseas, particularly among potential European allies. Through carefully crafted narratives of liberty, tyranny, and natural rights, colonial advocates were able to position their struggle as part of a broader fight for universal principles, helping to secure crucial international backing.

Through vivid examples and thoughtful analysis, Ink and Independence reveals how the written word and visual imagery became as vital to the Revolution as any battlefield victory.
