Novanglus, and Massachusettensis
"Novanglus, and Massachusettensis" is a collection of letters written by John Adams in 1775 under the pseudonyms Novanglus and Massachusettensis. In these letters, Adams passionately defends the rights of the American colonies and refutes the arguments made by loyalist writer Jonathan Sewall, who wrote under the pseudonym Massachusettensis. Adams skillfully articulates the principles of natural law, liberty, and self-government, making a compelling case for independence from British rule. Adams' powerful arguments and eloquent writing style make "Novanglus, and Massachusettensis" a classic work of American political literature. This book provides valuable insights into the political climate leading up to the American Revolution and offers a glimpse into the mind of one of the founding fathers of the United States.
