Answer:

True.

Step-by-step explanation:

During the colonial era, it was common for influential and very involved people with separatist ideals to write texts that were published in the form of pamphlets and disseminated revolutionary ideas to encourage people to support the struggle for independence from the colonies. These pamphlets continue opinions of their writers on how oppressive the English dominance was and how it suppressed the colonies' ability to be strong and to work for themselves without the constant exploitation and oppression from their colonizers.

These texts were generally published in newspapers and in almanacs, or published alone. This provided a quick distribution of that text allowing as many people as possible to have quick access to these ideas.
