The first person to suggest that the colonists think of themselves as one group of people called Americans was John Dickinson. In his "Letters from a Farmer in Pennsylvania," published in 1767-1768, he urged the colonies to unite against British taxation and oppression. This idea of a shared American identity was further developed by other leaders during the years leading up to the American Revolution.
