Darn. Hmm I guess another possibility is to see if ~300 years of advances in propaganda social technology would mean someone from our timeline is much more persuasive than 1700s people, and, after some pre-time travel reading and marketing/rhetoric classes, try to write polemical newsletters directly (I’m unfortunately handicapped by being the wrong ethnicity so I need someone else to be my mouthpiece if I do this).
Preventing specific pivotal moments (like assassinations or Boston ‘massacre’) seems to rely on a very narrow theory of change, though maybe it’s enough?
