This collection represents the rapid succession of a mass popular culture in the eighteenth century, where consumer choices formed an Empire of similar ideas and preferences. The 1700s marked an era of unity in distinct colonies but further revealed the inequalities in class, race, and gender that ultimately led to the American Revolution.

Each piece of the collection is to showcase the cause and effect of consumer revolution on the individual colonist and the colonies as a whole. Specifically, how the growth of a materialistic society impacted production, trade with England, political involvement and social inequality. Moreover, new print technologies contributed to an increase in news, communication, and common knowledge that gives us an understanding of how these people fostered an economy we take advantage of today.
