INTRODUCTION TO SAMUEL ADAMS SAMUEL ADAMS was born in Boston, Massachusetts on September 27, 1722, and died in the same town October 2, 1803; after seeing the nation which he had largely helped to create take her place securely among the peoples of the earth. In this long life of more than fourscore years he had worked faithfully, thought energetically, and spoken powerfully in the highest cause that could enlist the devotion of a man. For many years before the Revolution was an accomplished fact, Samuel Adams foresaw its approach, and at town meetings and in private assemblies he prophesied and warned. Adams not only believed that England would drive the colonies to rebellion, but he desired that consummation, and wished to do all that in him lay to bring it about, if it failed to come fast enough of itself. He demanded justice from England; but in his heart he was sure that justice would never be accorded save at the point of the sword. He advocated the right of representation under taxation; but he was convinced that the British Parliament would never acknowledge that colonists merited seats in their assembly, but would endorse the suave argument of Lord Mansfield, that already they were as much represented as half the boroughs in England. So, by the logic of his private meditations, he perceived that the only outcome of the situation would be either slavery or independence; and with the whole power of his heart he labored and planned for the latter consummation.

After the death of his father in 1748, Samuel took over the family's brewery business. After the brewery failed in 1764, Adams devoted himself to political causes. He was voted to the Massachusetts colonial legislature and vociferously opposed the Stamp Act of 1765 and the Townshend Acts on 1767 and even helped stage riots. In 1773, Adams organized the Boston Tea Party in response to the Tea Tax imposed by the British crown. As British tea-ships waited for payments in Boston Harbor, Adams, and a band of men dressed up as indians, boarded the ships, and dumped the tea into the harbor to the delight of spectators. In 1774, Adams became Massachusetts' representative in the

Thomas Hutchinson , an aristocratic political leader, who served as the lieutenant governor of the colony from 1758 to 1771 and as royal governor from 1771 to 1774. Adams decisively influenced every important aspect of the prerevolutionary struggle against British rule. In the realm of practical politics, he promoted the formation of the Boston chapter of the Sons of Liberty and sponsored the Committee of Correspondence of Boston. He led the fight against the Townshend Acts, headed the demonstrations that led to the Boston Massacre, directed the Boston Tea Party, and figured significantly in other outstanding events of the period. He rapidly acquired an intercolonial reputation both through these activities and as a literary agitator and revolutionary ideologist. Many of his writings, chiefly political pamphlets, were widely circulated and read. A proponent of the natural rights of man, he was in the vanguard of those Americans who challenged the authority of the British Parliament and championed rebellion. Stylistically, his writings are lucid, forceful, and epigrammatic. Adams's contributions to the

Only the landed gentry could afford a warhorse and a suit of armor.

This changed in the mid-1400s, at Crecy and Agincourt, when mere English commoners found they could destroy the cream of the French aristocracydrowning thousands of armored noble knights in the mud beneath their own toppled horsesby dint of one simple, technological advance: the Welsh longbow, an inexpensive weapon best deployed by large gangs of anonymous peasants. The French considered this so barbarous they threatened to cut off the index and middle fingers of any English archers they caught, rendering them incapable of using their dreaded bows. The Brits responded by defiantly waving these two fingers in the airor sometimes just one of them.

Adams, Samuel (1722-1803), American patriot, a leader of the resistance to British policy before the American Revolution (1775-1783). Adams was born in Boston, Massachusetts. He became an active in Boston political circles, and in 1765 he was elected to the legislative body of Massachusetts, where he assumed leadership of the movement in Massachusetts that advocated independence from Great Britain. Adams decisively influenced every important aspect of the prerevolutionary struggle against British rule, rapidly acquiring a reputation throughout the colonies. He led the fight against the Townshend Acts, headed the demonstrations that led to the Boston Massacre, and directed the Boston Tea Party. His writings were widely circulated and read. He was a delegate to the Second Continental Congress in 1775, and he subsequently signed the Declaration of Independence. Because of his strenuous opposition to a strong national government, his popularity and effectiveness as a leader waned. In 1779 he served on the committee that drafted the Massachusetts State constitution, and he was instrumental in securing the ratification by Massachusetts of the Constitution of the United States in 1788. Adams later served as lieutenant governor and governor of Massachusetts.

Second Half of Eighteenth Century III. SECOND HALF OF THE EIGHTEENTH CENTURY; THE REVOLUTIONARY PERIOD: SPEECHES, ARGUMENTATIVE ESSAYS, STATE PAPERS In the second half of the eighteenth century, our literature presents the vivid reflection of that momentous struggle for independence upon which the American colonies had entered. Fiery speeches, able arguments set forth in newspapers and in pamphlets, sharp and bitter satire served to give utterance to the thought and passion of men's minds. One feature of this activity must be emphasized: geographical lines were now forgotten; the literature of this period is no longer local; essayists, versifiers, orators were inspired by a common purpose and by a devotion to the interests of the country at large. James Otis Greatest of the Massachusetts orators and conspicuous at the beginning of the struggle was James Otis. He was a graduate of Harvard, and a prominent lawyer in Boston. In 1761, following the accession of George III , in the previous year, there arose in Massachusetts a debate over granting the new Writs of Assistance to officers of the customs in that colony. In February of that year, Otis, in the council chamber at Boston, delivered an argument against the legality of these writs which is sometimes described as the prologue of the Revolution.

A Tradition of Celebration by the Adams Family No other family has had a longer legacy of celebrating the Fourth of July than the Adams family. From 1776 to 1892, the Adams family had been involved in a myriad of Independence Day activities. John Adams (1735-1826) was instrumental in negotiating in favor of independence at the Continental Congresses (1774-78), signed the Declaration of Independence. John Adams' famous letter of July 3, 1776, in which he wrote to his wife Abigail what his thoughts were about celebrating the Fourth of July is found on various web sites but is usually incorrectly quoted. Following is the exact text from his letter with his original spellings: The Second Day of July 1776, will be the most memorable Epocha, in the History of America. I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated, by succeeding Generations, as the great anniversary Festival. It ought to be commemorated, as the Day of Deliverance by solemn Acts of Devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be solemnized with Pomp and Parade, with Shews, Games, Sports, Guns, Bells, Bonfires and Illuminations from one End of this Continent to the other from this Time forward forever more. You will think me transported with Enthusiasm but I am not. I am well aware of the Toil and Blood and Treasure, that it will cost Us to maintain this Declaration, and support and defend these States. Yet through all the Gloom I can see the Rays of ravishing Light and Glory. I can see that the End is more than worth all the Means. And that Posterity will tryumph in that Days Transaction, even altho We should rue it, which I trust in God We shall not. (
