Presentation transcript:

Broadsides Broadsides were used from the early days in the colonies to spread news in the form of print. A broadside was a poster printed something like a newspaper article and designed to attract the attention of people passing by. It would have been "published" by nailing it to a tree, a pole, or the side of a building. Broadsides spread important news, made announcements of public interest, and recruited men for military service. They also advertised products, services, and upcoming entertainments.

Broadsides were also posted to argue for or against controversial issues. Many broadsides encouraged the colonists to stick together against the British. For example, broadsides were posted arguing against the Stamp Act that so many colonists hated.
