Set against the backdrop of colonial tensions in 1773, the narrative centers on Benjamin Franklin's role as a commissioner in London, where he uncovers secretive letters from Massachusetts Governor Thomas Hutchinson and Lieutenant Governor Oliver. These letters advocate for oppressive measures against the colonies, prompting Franklin to petition for their removal before the privy council. The account includes historical context from Bancroft's History of the United States, along with the original texts of letters and speeches from this pivotal moment in American history.
