Access to food, water, shelter, and all basic human needs can hinder or help the growth of a civilization. Civilizations with similar environments or climates tend to develop on similar paths (because they run into the same problems/conveniences that have to be solved by human brains, which are wired to react to certain situations in certain ways.)
If I was an ordinary person in my 1930s and aged 40 with a middle income job such as an 'office assistant', I would not be in favour of helping other countries.
I would personally prefer a policy of isolation from the rest of the world. Primarily, this would be because I had seen with my very won eyes, the death and destruction bought on by World War I and more importantly the Great Depression.
With millions of job less people, poverty and people barely making ends meet, I would want our government to concentrate on the welfare of our own people, rather than go to war with countries thousands of miles away.

I answered this question before, if you look it up.
What Samuel Adams is trying to say is that, if the British parliament is going to tax on the American colonists, then the colonists should have a say on the parliament when it comes to both taxes and laws.
This is where the famous phrase "NO TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION" comes from.
American colonists wanted independence due to this unfair treatment that the British gave to the colonists, as well as no say in Parliament.
