- Samuel Adams - Founding Father, Statesman, and Political Philosopher
Samuel Adams (September 27, 1722 - October 2, 1803) was an American statesman, political philosopher, and one of the Founding Fathers of the United States. He was a politician in colonial Massachusetts, a leader of the movement that became the American Revolution, and one of the architects of the principles of American republicanism that shaped the political culture of the United States. He was a second cousin to his fellow Founding Father, President John Adams.
Adams was born in Boston, brought up in a religious and politically active family. A graduate of Harvard College, he was an unsuccessful businessman and tax collector before concentrating on politics. He was an influential official of the Massachusetts House of Representatives and the Boston Town Meeting in the 1760s, and he became a part of a movement opposed to the British Parliament's efforts to tax the British American colonies without their consent. His 1768 Massachusetts Circular Letter calling for colonial non-cooperation prompted the occupation of Boston by British soldiers, eventually resulting in the Boston Massacre of 1770. Adams and his colleagues devised a committee of correspondence system in 1772 to help coordinate resistance to what he saw as the British government's attempts to violate the British Constitution at the expense of the colonies, which linked like-minded Patriots throughout the Thirteen Colonies. Continued resistance to British policy resulted in the 1773 Boston Tea Party and the coming of the American Revolution. Adams was actively involved with colonial newspapers publishing accounts of colonial sentiment over British colonial rule, which were fundamental in uniting the colonies.
Parliament passed the Coercive Acts in 1774, at which time Adams attended the Continental Congress in Philadelphia which was convened to coordinate a colonial response. He helped guide Congress towards issuing the Continental Association in 1774 and the Declaration of Independence in 1776, and he helped draft the Articles of Confederation and the Massachusetts Constitution. Adams returned to Massachusetts after the American Revolution, where he served in the state senate and was eventually elected governor.

Excellent work. As a huge fan of Samuel Adams myself, i was surprised you were able to do a biography in just 28 minutes that so effectively covered his life and many achievements.
Glad you enjoyed it!
He failed to mention that Samuel was a scientologist!
Thank you for teaching the world about the great men and women of American History. You are doing a great service by providing such high quality educational content.
Wow, thank you
You're helping me learn so much about US history that i never learned in school. Thank you very much.
Glad to hear that!
I see where John Adams got his Federalist beliefs in tariffs, strong central government, & boosting the domestic economy... His uncle & older cousin, Sam Adams, Sr & Sam Adams, Jr were his inspirations...
anyone thirsty for a Samuel Adams beer?
My great grandmother was a direct descendant of Mary Carter, who married Giles Fifield and later Samuel Adsms, ,Sr. father of Samuel Adams the patriot.
I'm a direct descendent of John Adams by 8 generations on his daughter Abigail side.
It was actually William Dawes who warned the militia that the “Regulars” were coming(not the “British”since at the time they were all British). Revere had been arrested or detained on the road from Lexington to Concord. ALSO It was John Adams who proposed Washington as commander in chief.
Very clear explaination
Glad you think so!

Hi 👋
@3:52 why does this sound so familiar
Was Samuel Adams a freemason?
I finished reading John Adams book by David McCullough, almost zero interaction reported in the book between John and Samuel, while they went to the same meetings frequently.
I am reading Samuel Adams book by Stacy Schiff, but really not much mention of his personal affairs so far....
..... and breathe.
YEET
