notes:
Mayhew's sermon on the Stamp Act is widely regarded as the impetus for the stamp act riots that followed its enactment in 1765. Mayhew was a Harvard graduate and liberal Congregationalist minister; his sermon in 1750 on resistance to George III was said by John Adams to be "the spark that ignited the American Revolution."
