'The Revolutionary' Digs Into The Life Of Samuel Adams
Someone at MSNBC's graphics department needs to wake up. They included John Singleton Copley's portrait of Paul Revere in the montage of Sam Adams images.
Bingo, Mr. Pace!
I think that it way past time that these historians wrote a biography of Thomas Paine. His pamphlets Common Sense, and The American Crisis did more than anything else to crystalise the republican objectives of the American revolution.
As if after 200 years no other historians but msmbc are aware of the people that founded our country and no other books about them exist. Also they would just paint paine as a slave master who cared nothing for the common man or a marxist revolutionary fighting against white supremacy and capitalism.
@@will-ob7pr It would be impossible to paint Paine as a slave master, because he never was.
@@philipdclarke5657 Then he must be a marxist revolutionary fighting for the same principals as comrade karl marx, lenin, mao, and stalin.
@@philipdclarke5657 It's called revisionist history didn't you read 1984 or a brave new world ect ?
@@will-ob7pr Nope, but I read The Rights of Man.
I look forward to reading a book.
The Founding Father whom few really know.
Wait, one of the pictures you showed was Paul Revere.
I'll wait for the movie
.........and to think, I thought he was only known for making beer.🍺🤣
By the time the democrats are done with him he will be re-written to have been a tyrannical slave master who cared nothing for the common man. Or a marxist revolutionary who believed in Karl Marx Lenin and the great fight against the west while also hating parents and cross dressing.
Not big on the beer though.
Why is it missing
America was better led then. America was unmatched. No wacko woke weirdo stuff. Men wore wigs yes, but didn't consider themselves women..
We chose to use social security to rob all future genarations, ensuring the fall of this country.
Better for whom? Landed christian males had it good, but nobody else. Only christian men, who owned land were allowed to vote, in the early days of the United States, not those too poor to buy a home, not women, not Jews, and certainly not enslaved black people.
@Saving Democracy Not really. Mainly the rich had firearms but don't let that derail your narrative. Besides the fact that theses men were actually the defensive unit for the government
@Saving Democracy No it was mainly the rich land owners who could afford firearms. And again the people were the main military which is far different than today. Read Scalia his words speak volumes
Admittedly, I've not read Ms.Schiffs' book on Samuel Adams...however....in this interview, she makes no mention of Adams and John Hancock as being tea smugglers.
One of the main reasons for the "Boston Tea Party", was that King George had already lowered the price of tea...both Adams and Hancock would have lost their shorts had the British (East India) tea gone to market.
Adams and Hancock were still waiting for their tea shipment to arrive.
The cry of "No taxation without representation..." Was the Samuel Adams battlecry..,and an excuse to dump their competitors tea into the harbour.
It was a bit more involved than you indicate. Adams and others, bought their tea from Dutch companies, which still charged less than the British companies, even with the price drop. But, England insisted on a monopoly, and did not allow importation of goods, from any country but England. It was less the tax, but the monopoly, those involved in the "Dutch trade" were protesting against. BTW This monopoly was not just on tea, but anything not produced locally, such as fabric, forged metal items, even sugar and rum (despite being produced in the New World). If you couldn't produce it yourself, you had to buy from England. This was also true in the British Isles as well, if you didn't have a royal charter, you could not import goods. Smuggling, to get around these monopolies, was common in Wales, Scotland, Ireland and Cornwall, so it's no surprise they were also common in British colonies.
@@deborahfreedman333 Thank You...
Aware, but it was early when I wrote my comment and did not have time to go into details...you are correct in what you present.
I was merely pointing out that Adams had other motives...
It would be nice if someone wrote a biography of AARON BURR. Trump has the same personality traits as VP BURR during the Jefferson presidency.
That is slanderous. Burr was not the sort of would-be tyrant, nor nearly as incompetent, as Trump.
Except Burr would actually duel. Trump would run away and apply tanner then mock his opponent
His beer sucks
Nothing is built
Nothing is back
Nothing is better
Thanks for nothing, Joementia TaliBIDEN
